“He is now proposing in the stimulus plan to say well, gee, let's go to the Federal Government. We don't want to change our program. Let's go to the Federal Government and ask for 200 billion-plus to bail out those judgments of the past. So what, we are going to stimulate the past as now we are going to add to exacerbate the problem here on the House floor? Let's stop and pause and think about what we are doing here, folks. Let's look at this program to actually cover children. You are about to say of the 700,000 adults that are on the program, by 2013 we could have over 1.4 million in the program. For every adult that is in this program, we are taking away more money that actually could cover children.”
