Bob Ney said "let me make this point very clear. This does not apply to children. Let me read the exemptions once again: Anyone under 18 years old or over 50, this does not apply to them. Anyone medically certified as physically or mentally incapable or unfit for employment, it does not apply to them. A parent or other member of a household responsible for a dependent child, it does not apply to them. A pregnant woman, it does not apply to her. Also, if the gentleman wants to talk about unemployment, if we read the text, there are hardship exemptions. It can be waived. There are safeguards in this. The bottom line is it saves $2.2 billion on the fiscal side, but the real bottom line is it is responsible. It is a good amendment. It is fair. It is an amendment, and I cannot even believe some of the statements I have heard about this amendment. It is a very responsible amendment." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
