“Mr. Speaker, this week the new majority of this body will unveil its plan for reforming the Medicare system--a plan that is long overdue for a system that will soon pay out more than it takes in. Meanwhile the President and Members of the other side of the aisle crisscross the country with their deficit spending, big government message. Over the years they failed the American people by not giving them a responsible Government that operates within its means. Now that the new majority is about the business of bringing to Washington responsible Government, the other side has resorted to generational warfare, scaring seniors into believing they are the targets of our balanced budget when in fact they are not. Our message is simple: We are committed to Medicare's continued viability for the future of seniors and our children. We are committed to positive changes that will balance our budget and encourage individual responsibility--the same goals of any American family.”
