The point of that is that the Republicans believe that seniors need to put more skin in the game.

So if Mr. Ryan and the Republicans succeed in moving to a voucher system--that is, we hand 5,700 or 6,300 or whatever amount to seniors every month--how will that administrative cost on the insurance companies, will that be an added cost…

So it really is political theater, hyperbole, to make it seem like this bill kills jobs.

can you think of any reason why a small business man or woman could not find a way for health care, if they're making money?

Republicans, like Mr. Holtz-Eakin, have taken to dismissing any non-partisan assessments they don't like.

the National Business Group on Health, a collection of nearly 500 big employers, opposes repeal.

this hearing is really just a press event for the Republicans to twist the facts of the health care law and attempt to further scare and polarize the American public.

Talks about the history of taxation and that we establish progressive taxation along the Greek lines because we realize the people at the top got most of the benefits, so they ought to pay most of the taxes.

So it is saying we are really going to make these tax cuts and the only place we will get the money is by borrowing it internationally to continue the level of services that we have in this country.

On the surface, what's going on with tax policy in Washington right now seems crazy.

I respectfully suggest there are other topics well worth exploring also.
