Mr. Speaker, again, I do not take his estimate of any costs seriously.
When he makes these exaggerated claims about the cost of programs, he undermines any credibility he might have had otherwise.
In the meantime, the record of our government has been that we have paid down sufficient debt that we have actually freed up $3 billion in funds that were otherwise going to be spent paying interest costs to be used in other programs. That is a good record.
