If the gentleman would yield. it is not just the eight or nine that I listed. as you were probably walking down here. the eight or nine times that Democrats have offered to increase border security and border patrol and actually fund it and not just make the promise to do it. Think about the Medicare prescription drug bill. One of the first things we will do when there is a change of power in January is make sure that with the Medicare prescription drug bill we will allow the Secretary of Health and Human Services the ability to negotiate down the drug prices to save the taxpayers money. Now. that is good policy from any party that is running the government. but our friends on the other side have refused to implement that basic thing. So we have tried for border security. we have tried to reduce the cost of the Medicare prescription drug bill. giving the Secretary of HHS the ability to negotiate down the drug prices. and we will increase the minimum wage on the first day we are here when we take over in January. That means a pay raise for all Americans because that will trickle up and push everybodys wages up. That was proven.
