LT. GOV. STEELE: Is everything on the table?

REP. CARDIN: Well, I have specific proposals to do it. I can give you Medicare cuts that can bring us into balance. I can give you changes in foreign policy.

LT. GOV. STEELE: And you’ll also give us tax increases because you voted 66 times to tax increases.

REP. CARDIN: And I favor — I — no, I’m, I’m not.
