in this case from the house of representatives. so we have one of our own here. roger griswold was born in lyme, connecticut. he was a federalist as many connecticut politicians were. he goes to the congress to be a congressman. he's there until 1805. he was a long serving federalist congressman. matthew lyon was from vermont. he was a supporter of thomas jefferson. he became a republican. they could get along sometimes. they also can get into big fights. what i'm described is the line griswold brawl. griswold had a club in his hand. how did they get this way? it came about an argument over politics. it was during an impeachment hearing of the democratic republican officer that griswold, mr. club was trying to attract the attention of lyon, mr. tongs, in order to engage in the political process. but lyon was ignoring him since they belong to opposing political processes. griswold lost his temper and insulted lyon by calling him a scoundrel. that is another word like coward that when you say it, everyone gets quiet. eyes pop out. it is the dirtiest word in an affa

house of representatives. newt gingrich who is a candidate for president this year around was looked upon as the architect of that and became speaker. -- speaker of the house and set , the stage for a huge debate over the size of the debt leading to a government shutdown , that very much pitted the two men, president clinton and newt gingrich, against one another. how responsible was ross perot's highlighting of the debate issue for those subsequent events? >> that's a good question. i think it was quite important. i think it started making people worry about the deficit. but again, remember, ross perot is talking about paying for it with a gasoline tax which you don't hear republicans talking about. but it became a big worry of the people by the time of -- throughout the clinton era. and i might also add when we're looking at that famous gore-perot clip, remember, nafta became popular with both democrats and republicans. it was al gore and bill clinton were pro nafta but also george herbert walker bush, republ

it was the work of a republican house of representatives and a republican senate that ultimately convinced president clinton to sign the balanced budget act of 1997. that act of 1997 extended the life of the health insurance trust fund, but it was not a silver bullet to solve the medicare program's long-term financial challenge. for many years spanning both democrat and republican administrations the medicare trustees have cautioned that the program's financial shortfalls require further legislative action. the trustees repeatedly advised congress to enact such legislation sooner rather than later to minimize the impact on beneficiaries, health care providers, and taxpayers. republicans know how important medicare is to the over 60 million americans who rely on the program for their health care. but we also realize that medicare is on an unsustainable course. i have always said that we need to work in a bipartisan way to protect medicare, particularly here in the united states senate where it takes 60 votes to get anything done. that work requires an honest assessment and a very serious di
