Summary here and there are things in here that i agree on. You guys have been so critical of the 1964 war on poverty saying that we should actually try to help lift people out of poverty so they could be selfsufficient. I would be really happy to join you guys on that effort to do that but not with this double speak sort of stuff where you say you want to lift people out of poverty and then you do that by cutting medicaid and cutting snap. Really allowing people to have child care and snap and Educational Opportunity for 200, 250 of the Poverty Level and not just cutting them off and subjecting them to these high marginal tax rates. As soon as they get 8 an hour, all of a sudden they are not eligible anymore. And if you guys really want to work on welfare reform, ive got a bill. Ive got ideas. I was motivated to come to congress to do this, and id be happy to work with you if youre for real about it. I yield back to the lady. Gentle lady yields back. Thank you. The gentleman from alaba
