                             SIMPLE TRUTHS

  (Mr. KINGSTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, it's a simple truth that Republicans in 
Congress spent too much money. It's a simple truth, though, that in 12 
years of Republican deficits, the Democrats in 1 year spent more money, 
with a deficit of $1.4 trillion in 1 year.
  It's a simple truth you can't insure 30 million more people without 
costing more to the Federal Government. It's a simple truth that if the 
government rewrites all the health care laws, you can't keep the health 
insurance that you now have.
  It's a simple truth that with millions of new bureaucracies, or 
thousands of new bureaucracies and billions more dollars, bureaucrats 
will come in between you and your doctor.
  And it's a simple truth the government that brought you ``Cash For 
Clunkers'' is not going to deliver good health care policy.
  And it's a simple truth if the bill was so good we wouldn't need the 
Cornhusker kickback; we wouldn't need the Gatorade payoff; we wouldn't 
need the Louisiana purchase, and we would not have to promise to all 
Members of Congress all kinds of things that are in this bill and other 
bills to come if it was a good bill.
  It's a simple truth the American people want us to start all over, 
and that's what we should be doing.
