I would like to add in our colloquy, if the Senator is aware, according to this report that just came out in September of this year: Income inequality has skyrocketed. Economists concur that income inequality has risen dramatically over…

And there is a limit to what they can consume. What the Senator from Vermont is saying and what I am saying--I want to be very clear, because the Senator and I don't agree on every piece of legislation. He tends to be a little bit more…

Overwhelmingly, people are calling in and saying, Is that really happening? In fact, my office told me today that actually 10 people called who had incomes over $1 million, which I found very interesting, to say they supported my position…

Thank you. I wish to say a few other things about this whole situation, because the Senator from Vermont and I agree on some things and parts of this--obviously this part--but we had a big difference. I wanted to show this from my…

Mr. President, I come to the floor to strongly urge my colleagues, Democrats and Republicans, to oppose cloture on the so- called DREAM Act. That will be one of our votes in a few minutes. All these votes are important. That is the most…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to speak for up to 3 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

I thank my colleague for the time and for his leadership on this issue. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the Seniors Protection Act. Since 1975, seniors have depended on a cost-of-living adjustment to meet their rising expenses…

I thank the gentleman. Yes, indeed, the bottom line, what we are saying here is that we can achieve all of these laudable goals without the complex bureaucracy of ObamaCare. We can expand health care to many more millions of people without…

I thank the gentleman. But even before we get to those cuts, it's already steeply increasing the premiums of average, everyday citizens. There is no way that you can cover an additional 32 million Americans--I mean, this is an empirical…

I did want to enter in a couple of ideas before we move right into that. You know, Mr. Speaker, the other side of the aisle oftentimes says to us: well, now, you Republicans, you want to repeal ObamaCare. You mean to say you want to stop…

Well, I thank the gentleman, Dr. Gingrey, and, of course, Dr. Paulx Broun, my other colleague who is here tonight, both gentlemen from Georgia. I want to thank you both and state my appreciation for your leadership and for holding these…

Thank you. I appreciate you throwing number four to me, because that's the one that I think gets my gall the most, quite frankly. Mr. Speaker, you realize that in ObamaCare half a trillion dollars is taken from Medicare. And this is not…

The shocking announcement tonight, the latest on that, how she's coping. Her estranged husband, John Edwards, now at her side.

Will the majority leader yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the majority leader yield?

I am sorry. Will the minority leader yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Republican leader?

Mr. President, I was going to ask the minority leader, Mitch McConnell, who just insulted many of us by saying we don't care about small business or the economy, and as the chair of the Small Business Committee, I was going to ask him…

I guess that is a no. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Montana. ____________________

Mr. President, may I ask consent of the first Member on that list to speak for 30 seconds? Thank you. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________
