On the recordSeptember 25, 2000
I think our colleague from Georgia (Mr. Linder) says it best. In many of these issues, it really is about who decides, will it be Washington or will it be the individual. Whether we are talking about education reform, health care reform, prescription drug reform, whatever we are talking about here in Washington, most of it all comes down to who decides. Will it be Washington bureaucrats, or will it be you? The thing about this side of the aisle is we believe in individuals, and we believe that the individuals can make the best decisions.
