if we continue to promise more than we can deliver and do not reform the system, one day the game is going to be up and the American people are going to be left holding the bag.

As a former Governor of Kansas, I have a question for you.

Madam Speaker, I move that the House do now adjourn. The motion was agreed to; accordingly (at 8 o'clock and 11 minutes p.m.), under its previous order, the House adjourned until tomorrow, Thursday, April 10, 2014, at 9 a.m…
