On the recordJuly 12, 1995
It seems to me, here is what we have got to realize, is that there is a genuine problem here. It is very easy, with any of these problems in Congress, to subject them to demagoguery, to subject them to hyperbole, to subject them to political talk that is essentially designed to sway people in a way that will give the speaker a political advantage. The question that you have to ask yourself, as a Member of Congress, that I have to ask myself and that, frankly, the public has got to figure out for themselves is, they have got to cut through the politics of it and decide, is there or is there not a problem? And the truth is that there is a problem. It was not identified yesterday. It was not just identified in April 1995. It has been identified in the previous trustees reports of the past several years that Medicare is going broke.
