                                MEDICARE

  (Mr. NORWOOD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. NORWOOD. Mr. Speaker, once again, one more time we hear the 
liberal Democrats whining and crying. They go to great lengths to 
convince senior citizens that Republicans are going to hurt them. But 
instead of the overheated rhetoric, let us talk about the facts.
  It is a fact that in the last Congress, liberal Democrats voted to 
increase taxes on seniors. Not one Republican voted for that tax 
increase. Earlier this year, the Republicans voted to give seniors a 
tax cut to allow the seniors to keep more of the money that they earn. 
What did the liberal Democrats do? They voted against the tax cut for 
seniors.
  When the trustees of Medicare, including three members of Mr. 
Clinton's administration, reports that Medicare is going bankrupt, 
Republicans are stepping up, stepping up to the plate trying to fix 
Medicare and preserve this system for the next century.

  What is the liberal Democratic plan for Medicare? Nothing. Absolutely 
nothing.
