On the recordMarch 17, 2010
When the cashier at our local supermarket asked me about the reconciliation process and deeming and how can you pass something you don't vote on, I think the message is already at the grassroots. Mr. McDERMOTT. I would suggest that the gentleman has tried to create an issue, but it won't last. Nobody remembers any of the debate before Social Security. Nobody remembers any of the debate before Medicare. Of course, there were people saying all kinds of things out here. But when the bill is in, the people will take the benefits and be grateful for the Congress that acted on their behalf. I urge everyone to vote for this bill. The unemployed should not suffer again because of Senate filibusters.
