“So at a time when we continue to have a large deficit, when the government is cutting back in my State, in your State, Oregon, cold weather up there, not as cold as Vermont but it gets cold. We are talking about in the House cutting back and completely eliminating the fuel assistance program by which 5 million low income people get help in the wintertime to heat their homes, including 2 million senior citizens. We cannot afford to do that. We are cutting back on student loans and grants upon which millions of working class kids depend in order to get their college education. We are cutting back on the WIC program, wonderful program for pregnant women, low income children. We are cutting back, now the debate will begin on the new budget, major cutbacks in medicare, major cutbacks in medicaid. There are those who seriously want to dismantle the social security system. We just don't have enough money for all of that, but lo and behold, isn't it amazing, just amazing that we have $20 billion to put at risk bailing out another country, in this case Mexico.”
