House Chamber, Washington, D.C.  July 28, 2009.  Mr. Speaker:  In order to support the Democrats’ healthcare plan, we are asked to accept three arguments that are fundamentally absurd:  First, that the same government that pioneered $400 hammers and $600 toilet seats is somehow going to control healthcare costs;  Second, that the same government that runs FEMA is going to make our health care system more efficient and responsive;  Third, that the same government that runs the IRS is going to make our healthcare more compassionate and understanding.
