Thank you, Dr. Gingrey. I appreciate you yielding a few minutes. I wanted to kind of break all this down so that the American people could understand very clearly what we're talking about tonight. I've got a little poster here that shows President Obama's and the Democrats' Medicare solution. This is their Medicare plan. They deny the problem. They deny the problem that the gentleman from Georgia was just talking about with this huge, huge problem, where Medicare is going to go broke in a matter of just a decade. They want to delay any fixes. In fact, Medicare as we know it today exists no longer. ObamaCare took care of that. And they want to destroy it. They will destroy it by letting it go broke. So this is the Democrat Party's health care plan: Deny It, Delay It, and Destroy It by letting it go broke. Just recently, one of the government accounting groups released something that should scare every senior, every taxpayer, and every American. {time} 2050 They said that Medicare, within the next couple of decades--that's a lot of zeroes in this; 63 and a lot of zeros. This is the unfunded liability of Medicare over just the next several decades.
