Sorry, Mr. Chairman. This misguided budget is a doubling down on the same failed policies that we know don't work and brought us to the brink. {time} 1830 What our ranking member did not point out is that there was a loss of 653,000 jobs in those 8 years where there was in the previous 8 years a gain of 20.8 million jobs. You want to go back and use the same policies? You tried it in privatization. We're going to have it over and over again. You don't know what to bring up so you go back to the old playbook, which didn't work. You're saying that it's going to happen. It's going to work. One of these years we're going to try it. The American people rejected privatization of Social Security, and they reject this. Every poll. Even your polls show that the American people do not want to do away with Medicare as it is. Announcement by the Acting Chair The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is reminded to address his remarks to the Chair and not to other Members in the second person.
