On the recordMay 15, 1996
for those folks that are watching this debate, what the last speaker said is just so far from being accurate it almost ought to be on the Tonight Show in the opening dialog. I think we ought to stop scaring our senior citizens, our most vulnerable people. We have massive increases in Medicare spending, the program will be enhanced, preserved and improved, and I just really wish that these scare tactics would come to an end. The President blamed it on the press. He said, "The press made me do it," and I think he may be getting around to the point where he is going to stop, and maybe the rest of the people scaring the seniors ought to stop as well.
