                               FREE STUFF

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, Ron and Cynthia Barrs from Texas sent 
me this email:
  ``The folks who are getting the free stuff don't like the folks who 
are paying for the free stuff because the folks who are paying for the 
free stuff can no longer afford to pay both for the free stuff and 
their own stuff. And the folks who are getting the free stuff want even 
more free stuff on top of the free stuff that they're already getting. 
So now the ones who are forcing the people to pay for the free stuff 
have told the people who are receiving that free stuff that the people 
who are paying for the free stuff are mean and greedy. So the people 
who are getting the free stuff have been convinced they need to despise 
the people who are paying for the free stuff. And they are promised 
more free stuff if they vote for the ones who force others to pay for 
the free stuff.''
  Mr. Speaker, there's just not enough stuff for free.
  And that's just the way it is.
