THE ACTIONS OF THIS ADMINISTRATION WILL ACTUALLY RAISE COSTS FOR EVERY 
                                AMERICAN

  (Mr. SUBRAMANYAM asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Mr. Speaker, this week's address to Congress was one 
of the longest addresses to Congress ever, yet there was no real plan 
or blueprint for how we are actually going to lower costs.
  We heard a lot about Greenland and golden tickets and something about 
Mars, but we didn't actually hear about lowering costs because the 
actions of this administration will actually raise costs for every 
American.
  If you cut Medicaid, for instance, not only will you cut off care for 
millions, it will raise the healthcare premiums of every American, not 
just the ones on Medicaid. Health costs will go up.
  If you fire half the people who administer Social Security and 
undermine it for our seniors, costs will go up. If you continue the 
brain drain in our government and fire Federal workers who protect 
consumers or do critical safety or health research, you will make us 
less safe and costs will go up.
  Mr. Speaker, this administration's policies will directly lead to 
costs going up for all families. Americans deserve better.
