                  CEO'S DEMAND MORE CORPORATE WELFARE

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, OK, everybody, watch who signs up. Watch 
who signs up, because we now know what the issue is. These are the 
CEO's demanding that they have more corporate welfare and they want us 
to kill Medicare. They want us to kill the things that mean a lot to 
the middle class so they can continue on with their golden parachutes, 
the great tax cut that they have been promised, and they want their 
Christmas to come.
  Well, I am here not representing the CEO's, the fat cats of America. 
I am here representing the average American. Never have we had a 
Congress so stupid that it closed the Government down once, but twice. 
These Republicans do not learn. But how pleased I am they smoked out 
their supporters.
  I hope you guys all sign up, back the CEO's of America. Be proud you 
are for corporate welfare. I am proud I am not. I am for Medicare, I am 
for Medicaid, I am for student loans, and I am for standing up for what 
built this country.
