                               MEDAGOGUES

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, it is very interesting once again to 
return to the well and see the same rhetorical tactics utilized so 
desperately by the other side, so desperate in fact that a liberal 
newspaper in this town, the Washington Post, has talked about it now on 
two occasions.
  Members may recall last year the editorial entitled ``Medagogues,'' 
quoting now,

       If the Medicare program won't become less generous over 
     time, how do the Democrats propose to finance it and continue 
     the rest of the Federal activities they espouse? That is the 
     question. You listen in vain for a real response. It is 
     irresponsible.

  Now comes another Post editorial, entitled ``Medagogues Continued,'' 
quoting again from the Washington Post,

       The Democrats have fabricated the Medicare tax cut 
     connection because it is useful politically. It allows them 
     to attack and to duck responsibility both at the same time. 
     We think it is wrong.

  Medicare is going bankrupt. That is what should scare all Americans. 
We have a solution. They have nothing but complaints.
