“I have listened on the floor and off the floor to the Senator's statement, and especially about Medicare and Medicaid. I ask the Senator, we have heard now for 2 years from this administration that the answer to the problems of the country are tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts. I ask the Senator--and I am confident of the answer--if he is aware that the deficit this year will be the largest in the history of the world, about $500 billion if you do not mask it with the Social Security surpluses? Now, I am asking the Senator from Massachusetts, will the proposals by this administration in their tax cut proposal do anything to help the people in Nevada and Massachusetts and the rest of the country who are desperate for help in regard to Medicare and Medicaid?”
