one of my favorite Presidents was Ronald Reagan, and two of my favorite expressions that he used, and some Members will remember in some of the debates, he would use the phrase, ``Well, there you go again.'' He used that expression when people would attempt to distort the facts. We have heard it again tonight. ``Well, there you go again.'' One of my other favorite expressions from President Reagan was one that I use often around my office, and, that is, ``Facts are stubborn things.'' I almost wish we could bring those charts back here so people could continue to look at them because I think facts are stubborn things, and I think the more the American people get a chance to see the real facts about what we are talking about relative to welfare reform and reform of our nutrition programs, the more that they will see that the facts are on our side and that this is not a plan designed to cut the nutrition program.
