the gentleman from ohio ( mr. ryan ) xz4003521 talked about prevention before in the context of health care . 
it is not just iraq versus america , it is the fact that these cuts are plain stupid . 
we talk about prevention in terms of health care , by eliminating community health centers , people go to emergency centers , and it costs more . 
an argument could be made if we did not cut funding for the levees in louisiana , we may not even have had the crisis there .
