                AMERICANS WANT REAL ANSWERS TO PROBLEMS

  (Mr. GUTKNECHT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUTKNECHT. Mr. Speaker, this past week the Democrats' Special 
Caucus Task Force on Medicare held a series of mock Medicare hearings. 
Let us examine the record. Can anyone remember the exact number of 
Medicare reforms the Democrats Special Task Force on Medicare has 
proposed? The answer is zippo, zilch, nada, zero, the big goose egg.
  Liberals love to pose and posture. They love to pretend and feign 
concern. One week it is school lunches, the next it is student loans, 
and now it is Medicare. But the routine is pretty predictable. They 
distort the Republican position and make us look like monsters, but 
then they never propose any solutions for their own to deal with 
whatever the problem is.
  Mr. Speaker, the American people are completely fed up with this 
style of leadership. They want real answers to the real problems faced 
by their Government. They do not want mock hearings or mock concern 
about Medicare.
