“to those thousands of American senior citizens around the country that might be watching this today, I want to tell them that we are having a lot of fun seemingly at their expense. We have some people who are more interested in the Presidential race or in their own congressional races. We have some people that are using these props and some people even making up things. But to alleviate any fears that may he had in the future about this Congress cutting Medicare, I am a member of the Committee on Appropriations, and I have spoken to Democrats and Republicans on the committee, and I will guarantee everyone that we are not going to cut Medicare under any circumstance. So listen to the debate, listen to what they have to say, keep in mind what they are saying. But if Americans want to go visit their grandchildren today, then they should go visit their grandchildren because Sonny Callahan can say unequivocally that this Congress, the next Congress, or the following Congress is not going to cut Medicare no matter what anybody says.”
