“once again we hear what is the pithy disinformation campaign that is the basis of the Democrats' political hope in the future. What they are betting is they are betting that the American people will not see through this disinformation campaign and they are betting that in fact they will be confused and deceived and disinformed by it. I and those who believe in the future of America are convinced that in fact the American people will see through it, and I am betting the American people will know what the truth is. Just to be specific, a $700 billion increase in Medicare can hardly be called a cut. A 50-percent increase in student loan funding can hardly be called a cut. Mr. Speaker, I want to bring to your attention something in the Washington Times this morning in an editorial that I thought was very interesting. It had to do with a poll conducted regarding the AFL-CIO's decision to spend $35 million in dues supporting Democratic candidates to defeat Republicans. We find out that 62 percent of the union members oppose the political use of their dues in that way. I thought that should be brought to your attention.”
