On the recordMarch 3, 2004
I have only talked about what has happened in the last few weeks: Outsourcing is good, teachers are terrorists, veto the transportation bill. We have universal coverage in America because if you are one of the 44 million, you get taken care of some day somewhere. That is universal coverage. That was the Secretary of Health and Human Services who said that. And now they are trying to develop a new category of manufacturing. This reminds me of my friend Greg Maddux. In Las Vegas we are so proud of him. He has won the Cy Young Award 4 years. He is slightly built and my size. He is one of the greatest pitchers of all size. His hands are smaller than mine. He is now going to Chicago. He needs to win 11 more games to become a 300-game winner, which is a big deal in baseball. Just a handful of people have done that. So he needs 11 more games. Based on the President's assumption of how we can create manufacturing jobs, maybe we can get him to 11 more quickly. What I suggest is having four strikes instead of three. With four strikes--he has great control--I guarantee you, even though he will be 37 years old next month, I think he could win his 11 games much more quickly. That is what is going on with this administration.
