On the recordFebruary 8, 2012
Madam Speaker, last Wednesday, the House passed the Fiscal Responsibility and Retirement Security Act of 2011, a bill which repeals a new program in the government health care takeover bill. During the health care debate, the President and congressional liberals said that this program would save taxpayers $80 billion. However, now internal evidence reveals that the administration was aware that the program was a ``recipe for disaster.'' The 2,700-page ObamaCare bill was rammed through Congress, just like Cash for Clunkers. The President and his liberal colleagues included unworkable programs into an unpopular bill to gain enough votes for passage. The CLASS program is yet another example of how this administration supports programs that are political gimmicks, identified by Bill Walker as being a free ticket but no show. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
