mr. mcdermott: mr.peaker, today is in a sense an historic event we are finally putting to rest a problem that's festered around here for as long as i have been here. every year as the deadline approached, providers faced draconian cuts, congress passed an 11th hour patch, that delayed the implementation of s.g.r. doctors patients nobody, congress didn't like it, nevertheless 17 times we have made temporary fixes. we spent $174 billion in inadequate ways dealing with the real problem the s.g.r. was all about, which is cost control. now this is a first step today. we can celebrate but we have to go on because cost control is still a question, and we have replaced s.g.r. with a system that we hope will make medicare pay for value rather than for volume. that's not an issue that's for sure. we know that we are trying it. i thought of franklin delano roosevelt, i'll try something, if it doesn't work, i'll stop it and try something else. that's really where we are today is looking at the future of cost contro

mr. mcdermott: madam chairman, the last speaker said, there are two visions for this country. and there is. there's the republican vision, that is give more to the wealthy. and there is the progressive vision of investing in the future so that we can all all americans, do well. the republicans would believe, they'd want to you believe that millionaires and billionaires have the same tax problems as folks on the bottom of the scale. the hardworking americans who are trying to make a living. that's not the case. when republican budgets give tax breaks to the wealthy and the corporations the c.p.c. budget boosts the permit and permanently extends the earned income tax credit and the child tax credit which makes stronger working families. the second thing the c.b.c. budget does, and this is even more for the future -- c.p.c. budget does, and this is even more for the future, it takes on the issue of student debt, which is a crisis in this country. we have $1.3 trillion of debt wrapped around the necks of our children. every student and parent knows that the cost of a college educa
