On the recordSeptember 15, 2011
There are a couple of comments I would like to make on my good friend's comments. For one thing, not a single union employee, not a single employee in Washington State--Puget Sound, Washington State--has lost their job because of the new line of work being done in North Charleston, South Carolina. Another comment that my good friend made had to do with Medicare and what the Republicans are doing to Medicare. Let us not forget the fact that without any question the legislation that has the greatest impact on Medicare and its funding for the future happens to be the national health care plan passed by the Democrats where they stripped $500 billion, $500 billion, out of Medicare to pay for the debacle known as national health care. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from South Carolina, Mr. Joe Wilson.
