                   DO NOT CUT MEDICARE FOR A TAX CUT

  (Mr. HILLIARD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HILLIARD. Mr. Speaker, the Republican plan on Medicare is a 
falsehood on the people of this country. It is detrimental to all of 
those persons who are above 60. It is detrimental to everything that 
America should stand for.
  We talked about trustees a minute ago, Mr. Speaker. Every person in 
this country should have trust in this body, trust to do what is right, 
especially for those persons who have worked all of their lives and who 
in the twilight of their years see this body snatch from them their 
Medicare, their Medicaid benefits, that they are due because of trust 
that they place in this body. They trust us to do the right thing.
  Mr. Speaker, we have failed to do the right thing because we have 
taken money, we are attempting to take money from Medicare just to 
support a tax cut for rich.
