On the recordOctober 13, 1995
Who has written this letter now in a very, very political way. He has decided to jump in politically because he sees that apparently the President's approach to this, which had been, frankly, very evenhanded, which had recognized that, yes, there clearly is a problem with respect to Medicare, Medicare has got to be fixed. We have got to step up to the plate and fix this problem. The President apparently has been more recently, in the past month, or even less, 3 or 4 weeks, he has been persuaded by Democrat leadership in the House that political points can be scored by repeating this mantra of slashing Medicare in order to pay for tax cuts for the rich. I think that that is bad politics. It certainly is bad policy, and I am not going to yield more time at this point.
