I have said, and I really believe this,
as was
indicated very
loudly in
the health care bill, you know, one Republican Senator said that they wanted this to be
Obama's Waterloo. The other Senator said he hopes somebody died during the night are so that we
couldn't get our sixty votes. They want, and
that's a sad commentary, they're betting on failure.
They think that the
worse the
economy is
come November, the better they're going to do
election-wise. But we're not dealing with just numbers here.
We talk about the
almost two million people who are long-term unemployed.
These are not numbers, they are people. I
met a person in Reno, Nevada when
I was home last week.
He said, I'm fifty-one years old.
I have never missed a payment on my house in my life.
I can't find a job. My unemployment benefits have been cut off. I'm going to miss the first payment
on my home.
So, I,
in answering your question,
I hope not, but it appears by all indications that
your question's answered in the affirmative.
