Socializing The Country Is Not The Answer

Mr. FLEMING. Mr. Speaker, recently the President said in a speech: ``Folks are skeptical and that is entirely legitimate because they haven't seen a lot of laws coming out of Washington that help.'' That is an understatement. Americans have found themselves at the mercy of the mass social agenda of this administration and the liberal leadership in Congress.

First it was the $750 billion stimulus bill that neither created nor saved any jobs; then came cap-and-tax. Both of these bills were passed only minutes after being fully released, but not read, and were the first two installments of this liberal/socialist agenda.

But this health care bill, H.R. 3200, is the mother of all bad bills and seeks to recast America as a new socialist state. If it passes in its current form, we can expect tax increases for all American families, waiting lines with DMV-style medicine, an explosion of taxpayer-funded abortions and a lack of good health care for the elderly.

Americans are urging Democrats to finally reach across the aisle and work with Republicans for a change.
