Remember this. that they are not bad people. In fact. they can be very well intended. but more often than not they are frozen in the ice of their own indifference. frozen in indifference to the cries of people from the rooftops of New Orleans or to fellow colleagues who come to the floor from Bay St. Louis and New Orleans and talk about people who still live in tents. frozen in their indifference to the elderly in this country who are refugees from their own health care system and have to go to Canada to get prescription drugs. frozen in that indifference and yet come to this Chamber with the temerity to talk about spending. We agree with you on spending. It is just that you lavish your spending on the oil companies and the pharmaceutical companies and only ask of the least amongst us to provide for the sacrifice that this Nation and you are going to place upon their backs.
