. . . AND THE POOR GET POORER

I'M not surprised the Congress didn't help President Clinton do what has not been done in the last 12 years. That is, help him get the country in a little better condition. But when he wanted to tax the rich that was a losing battle. They wanted to stick the poor people again. Cut Medicare - but not one word was said about cutting the premium that we pay. No, they want to raise that again. The poor people don't get the right food now. With Congress' help, we won't get medicine when we need it because we can't go to the doctor.
