to let the families, the parents do what's right for the children and not some unelected, unaccountable, federal, bureaucratic system that as the evidence shows doesn't do any good for anybody. before yielding back, i ask these two rhetorical questions. why in the world do the children of tomorrow have to pay for the education of today? that's what the spending does. i'm not going to pay for it. mr. honda isn't going to pay for it. it's those that don't exist yet that are going to pay for this. why do they have to pay for substandard education? with that, i yield back. >> since my name was brought up, i probably hav education system those criticizing federal funding. it probably reflects more than just what we've talked about versus the achievement that you have there. so you can take statistics and make it into mistruths. let me tell you what this is all about. all this money isn't decided here and how to spend it, we're sending it to the leas, the local education authorities. if you don't understand that, then you don't understand the process of education. the federal portion of every

we need to trust people and not unelected, unaccountable federal bureaucrats and on and on and on. and so -- oh, yeah, i was listening. and all this is is just an excuse to throw poor people and half of all americans are poor people now. they're not bums, they're not welfare recipients, they are people who are poor because of the recession and because of the economic addition of this country. food stamps. only 8% of the people who receive food stamps receive any other benefit. 61 60% of them were working. only three months out of three years can they receive tandem. 80% had an elderly member in the family. 2/3 had kids and disabled people. and i don't care what the blueprint says, food stamps has one of the best -- the lowest error rate that there is. 1 in 7 households have responded that they have food and security. there are 45 million people who use food stamps and that is not nearly the numbers of people who are eligible for it. so this whole lexicon that we have built up around food stamps to vilify the poor, you know, to try to justify, you know, ripping up the social safety

instead, the health reform bill gave us ipab, an unaccountable bill taxed with limiting procedures and treatments in order to control costs. it's a topdown, unconstitutional, ineffective and inefficient way to solve medicare's fiscal problems. and if you think this board won't make recommendations to limit the use of expensive but life-sustaining treatment, you haven't been paying attention. but here's something that gets lost in the debate. ipab just doesn't apply to medicare beneficiaries for seniors who are on government programs. first off, those of us who have been here for a while know that private insurers tend to follow medicare. we see it all the time. once medicare changes treatment, those decisions push private payers to also move in that direction because so much of our health care system relies on medicare's policies. the government already controls so much of our health care system, and that's why all these inefficiencies abound. if that weren't enough, starting in 2015, the ipab can make decisions about what private plans will cover. yes, 15 people will be deciding what

medicare under the president's law is flexion year turns medicare over to a board of 15 unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats whose job is to circumvent congress and put price controls on medicare which would lead to denied care for current seniors. medicare under the president's law raids $500 million from medicare to spend on his new health care proposal. we're saying get rid of the rationing board, stop the raid and preserve the system. don't change benefits for people in a near retirement because they've already retired or they're about to retire and they've organized their lives around this program. and we're saying,future, in ord this system, have a list of options they want to choose, just like we as members of congress do for our health care choices. saving medicare this way, which has a rich tradition of bipartisan support for this kind of medicare reform is the most humane, common sense and bipartisan way to save this vital program. but let me turn it over to dr. plies, cho is an expert on this. >> the american people are martyr than the democrats give them credit for. they've removed $
