it is very interesting once again to return to the well and see the same rhetorical tactics utilized so desperately by the other side, so desperate in fact that a liberal newspaper in this town, the Washington Post, has talked about it now on two occasions. Members may recall last year the editorial entitled ``Medagogues,'' quoting now, If the Medicare program won't become less generous over time, how do the Democrats propose to finance it and continue the rest of the Federal activities they espouse? That is the question. You listen in vain for a real response. It is irresponsible. Now comes another Post editorial, entitled ``Medagogues Continued,'' quoting again from the Washington Post, The Democrats have fabricated the Medicare tax cut connection because it is useful politically. It allows them to attack and to duck responsibility both at the same time. We think it is wrong. Medicare is going bankrupt. That is what should scare all Americans. We have a solution. They have nothing but complaints.
