On the recordJune 30, 2010
Mr. Speaker, to balance out this argument just a little bit, I know we have those that want to characterize what Republicans stand for, but I would like to also address the statements that have been made here on the floor and balance out the attacks against Republicans. The gentleman Mr. Hoyer on June 22 said this in regards to what our leader Mr. Boehner said, and I quote: ``On the spending side, we could and should consider a higher retirement age, or one pegged to lifespan; more progressive Social Security and Medicare benefits . . . '' Mr. Speaker, you know, just the unrelenting liberal attacks on this country that have diminished this country's ability to have a free enterprise system have brought us higher taxes, incredible debt, and a future that diminishes our ability for our children and grandchildren. I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Dreier).
