                   LIBERAL DEMOCRATS SCARING SENIORS

  (Mr. NORWOOD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NORWOOD. Mr. Speaker, the liberal Democrats would rather scare 
seniors than make good public policy. The evidence of pure political 
gamesmanship is clear and convincing. Listen to what the liberal 
Democrats are calling for today. They want to lower Medicare premiums. 
Have they lost their minds?
  Mr. Speaker, Medicare is going bankrupt, and they want to increase 
the cost of the Medicare trust fund. The Federal Government is almost 
$5 trillion in debt, Medicare is going bankrupt, and liberal Democrats 
want to increase the spending of the Federal Government. It is little 
wonder we owe $5 trillion.
  Mr. Speaker, we will save Medicare from bankruptcy. We are making the 
hard choices we were elected to make, and ladies and gentlemen, we will 
stand our ground. We will stand our ground and fight for the future of 
our children and our grandchildren.
