| 00:00:00 | OF IT PAID FOR. |
| 00:00:03 | NOT ONE DIME. |
| 00:00:05 | ALL ON THE CREDIT CARD, CHA-CHING, CHA-CHING, ONE BIG BLOB OF RED INK. |
| 00:00:15 | ARE YOU AWARE HOW MANY OF OUR FRIENDS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE THAT HAVE RELIGION, NEW RELIGION? |
| 00:00:21 | THIS IS NEW RELIGION ABOUT BALANCING A BUDGET. |
| 00:00:23 | HOW MANY OF THEM ACTUALLY VOTED FOR MEDICARE-D. |
| 00:00:29 | THAT WAS A BRAND-NEW ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM, A MASSIVE GOVERNMENT ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM, A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE-RELATED ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM, NOT ONE DIME OF IT PAID FOR. |
| 00:00:40 | DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY OF OUR FRIENDS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE THAT ARE STILL SERVING TODAY VOTED FOR THIS NEW ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM? |
| 00:00:48 | 24. |
| 00:00:49 | DO YOU KNOW WHO THE SENATORS WERE THAT VOTED FOR THIS MASSIVE NEW UNPAID FOR ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM THAT ADDED HUNDREDS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO OUR DEBT. |
| 00:00:59 | NOT TAX CUTS. WE CAN ARGUE ABOUT TAX CUTS WHR-RBGS THEY CREATE JOBS. |
| 00:01:02 | -- WHETHER THEY CREATE JOBS, CLEARLY THEY DIDN'T BECAUSE WE KIND OF INHERITED A BIG MESS IN TERMS OF JOB CREATION. |
| 00:01:10 | DO YOU KNOW WHO THE SENATORS ARE THAT ARE SERVING ON THAT SIDE THAT NOW WANT TO PREACH ABOUT FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY AND PAYING FOR PROGRAMS? |
| 00:01:20 | HOW MANY OF THEM ARE WILLING TO PUT THAT PROGRAM ON A CREDIT CARD? |
| 00:01:24 | THERE WAS SENATOR ALEXANDER. |
| 00:01:27 | THERE WAS SENATOR BENNETT. |
| 00:01:28 | THERE WAS SENATOR BOND, SENATOR BROWNBACK, SENATOR BUNNING, SENATOR CHAMBLISS, SENATOR COCHRAN, SENATOR COLLINS, SENATOR CORNYN, SENATOR CRAPO, SENATOR ENZI, SENATOR GRASSLEY, SENATOR HATCH, SENATOR HUTCHISON, SENATOR INHOFE, SENATOR KYL, SENATOR LUGAR, SENATOR McCONNELL, SENATOR MURKOWSKI, SENATOR ROBERTS, SENATOR SESSIONS, SENATOR SHELBY, SENATOR SNOWE, AND SENATOR VOINOVICH. |
| 00:01:57 | ALL OF IT A GOVERNMENT MASSIVE ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM RUN OUT OF WASHINGTON. |
| 00:02:05 | BIG GOVERNMENT, BIG BILL, NOT PAID FOR, AND NOT ONE WORD ABOUT IT NEEDING TO BE PAID FOR. |
| 00:02:15 | AND WE FAST FORWARDED. |
| 00:02:17 | THAT'S A BIG PART OF OUR DEFICIT. |
| 00:02:19 | BY THE WAY, WE'VE NOW FIGURED OUT ON MEDICARE-D THAT WE TRANSFER A WHOLE BUNCH OF TAXPAYER MONEY STRAIGHT TO THE BOTTOM LINE OF PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES. |
| 00:02:28 | I WASN'T HERE THEN, BUT I'M SURE THE SENATOR, MAYBE YOU CAN ENLIGHTEN ME. |
| 00:02:32 | MY RECOLLECTION IS THAT THE BIGGEST PEOPLE IN FAVOR OF MEDICARE-D WAS PHARMA. |
| 00:02:37 | MR. |
| 00:02:38 | DURBIN: I SAY TO THE SENATOR FROM MISSOURI, SHE IS CORRECT. |
| 00:02:41 | IT WAS THEIR BELIEF THEY WOULD MAKE A LOT OF MONEY -- MRS. |
| 00:02:46 | McCASKILL: THEY HAVE HAD MADE A FORTUNE ON THE BACKS OF TAXPAYERS. |
| 00:02:50 | MR. DURBIN: THOSE WHO FORMED SOME TYPE OF COMPETITIVE BIDDING, SOME TYPE OF GOVERNMENT BUYING IN BULK TO REDUCE |
Mrs. McCASKILL. Well, it is interesting. It was a big majority to waive the Budget Act. I have the vote here. There were 61 votes to waive the Budget Act, including our friend from Kentucky. I think the CBO score on that was around $450 billion, as I recall.
