simpson. mr.simpson: i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks on this flawed health care bill. mr. dreier: i yield to mr. blunt for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. blunt: i was able to chair our health care solutions group on our side and we had lots of ideas. they were included in the 80 amendments that went to the rules committee yesterday, none of which were allowed. this could be a bill about medical liability reform, small business health plans buying across state lines, lots of things that aren't there. i don't think, mr. speaker, this bill improves what works and fixes what's broken, which should be our goal, but that's not the main reason, mr. speaker we should not be proceeding today. the main reason is not that it's not the best bill or a bill that i approve of, it costs too much, mr. speaker. this is a bill where the proponents say we will collect $1 trillion in either new taxes or medicare cuts. we're going to accumula

we have seen the president set up the debt commission with senator simpson's.ve seen the vice-president say that this national debt is a national security issue. the secretary of state said it is a national security issue. you made comments about the challenges that it presents in the international framework of our dealings. i know that you are short a few economists in the tax policy office. previous treasury department's look at broad based tax reform. everyone knowledgeable on this says we have to raise some revenue and cut our long term costs on entitlements and engage in a broad based tax reform. the ronald reagan treasury department and the bush treasury department, 20 years apart, said they were fatally deficient and would work and look at the flat tax and said it wouldn't work. my question to you is if we go forward we need to have a deficit commission which we have in place and i am happy to see that the leader has made appointments and republicans in the senate make appointments to look at long-term entitlements. that is great. what i am interested in

we're going to get alan simpson and have six republicans and six democrats and they will get togetherand the cameras will be honored to look look at all these learned minds getting together to solve the deficit problem. stop spending. simple. and people go gap, because they've had to do it. you and i, we've had to be limited as other people go crazy in 2006, 2007, real estate. atm. i've always wanted an rv, always were able. so what we have done in the last year is reduce our spending by about 28%. and people are going i have to do it. why don't they? you know, when i look at the government, signed $1.9 billion increase in the deficit to 14 points we trillion dollars, and i hit a bug talking what we're doing this for our children and our children's children. no, you're bankrupting the next generation. and i think we have a responsibility to make the campground and a bit nicer than the way we found. what we're doing right now, republican or democrat, everybody is like obama is doubling the national debt, bush did the same thing from five to 10 billion to pick i listen to these guys goi

alan simpson, republican is on this commission. it reports in december.ve got to come up with some kind of revenue gusher and this is the way to do it. and the president and the democrats can say it wasn't us. it was the commission. the commission simply had to do it. >> there's no way in this bipartisan debt commission that they're going to allow a vat tax and not also say that you have to control spending. >> the way they'll control spending is to cut the level of benefits especially in something like social security. raise the retirement age. tax people more. and maybe do some things similar with medicare like big co-pays so they'll cut there. but raise taxes elsewhere. much more to pay for this massive gusher of spending. >> and a vat, value added tax would be a gusher of money for the government. we have a graphic over there on the big screen. for every 1% that the government adds on a value added tax, it's a trillion dollars over 10 years. >> right. that's right. >> when you think of germany, 19%. >> it will be a trillion dollars. >> yes. now it wil

in fact, senator -- senator simpson, a republican -- former republican senator from wyoming, said the iraq war is the first time he ever knew about in american history when we didn't pay for a war. so i hear these lectures, and that's what they are, from our conservative colleagues, mr. president, lecture us, preach to us, talk to us like we're children because we're not paying for unemployment extension. in the last ten years, they voted for a war that they refused to pay for. only a trillion dollars it's cost. they voted for the giveaway to drug companies and insurance companies, all in the name of medicare privatization. that was $100 billion or more. they didn't pay for it. and then they voted for the tax cuts to go to the richest americans. they just forgot to pay for that, too. so we do tax cuts for the rich. we do giveaways it the drug companies and insurance -- tax cuts to the rich, not paid for. giveaways to the insurance companies and drug companies, not paid for, a war in iraq not paid for, yet they are all of a sudden shrinking it down to we're not going to let these worke
