“I forbid,'' the Speaker, Democrat Speaker of the House, came to the floor and gave a translation of the Latin ``veto'' and explained to us that it means ``I forbid.'' Well, I can tell you the only veto that is occurring with regard to children's health care and care for the indigent poor is occurring here tonight at the hands of the Democrat majority. The Democrat majority is vetoing. They are saying I forbid to move forward on this legislation. Republicans have expressed the desire to move forward and reached out and said in willingness to work together. Just a moment ago, a freshman of the Democrat side of the aisle came to that podium and cited a figure that 80 percent of the American public, as he said, quote, wishes to advance children's health care for indigent poor children. The word ``advance'' means to move forward. But Speaker Pelosi came to the floor and said, I forbid. I will veto moving forward tonight. Instead, put it on abeyance, put it on hold and say we have to put it off for another month. What are they putting off? Well, they are trying to move forward later on on a bill that brings us socialized health care for illegal aliens, for adults, for children, for adults. No one has denied that it's for adults. It is for childless couples and, by definition, is not for the poor. It is for middle class because, as we know, the median income in this country is $42,000.…”
