Madam Chairwoman, as a freshman in this House, it has been unique to sit and see one of the age-old tactics that takes place, scaring seniors, not to move the ball down the field, but for political points. The gentleman was just referencing Medicare and telling the American people that it's not broken, that it's going to continue to work. These are CBO charts. If you take a look at them, it's broken. We can't afford it. We have to reform this program to save it, and to deny that is trying to scare seniors for your own political gain, and I think that's shameless.
