Again, I state that I am supporting the McHenry amendment because I think it's an important step forward as we get some control over spending so we can set our priorities straight so we don't hurt rural seniors. I pointed out the numerous cuts that are going to be made to the 3,246 seniors in the Seventh Congressional District alone. Madam Chair, when is the spending spree going to stop? When are we going to get control over this spending so that we can set our priorities straight?
