Where was I before my poster of Senator Schumer was ruled in order? Oh, yes, government shutdowns have devastating implications on so many different areas, especially when it comes to our Nation's military. All Active-Duty military personnel will come to work, but they cannot be paid. Critical maintenance operations and training that are not directly related to ongoing military operations are forced to stop, all because of the Schumer shutdown. Mr. Speaker, the government funding bill in question also includes 6 years of funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program, known as ALL Kids in Alabama, but Minority Leader Pelosi recently said that the efforts to fund the government and fund CHIP are like a bowl of doggy- doo. I can assure the minority leader that funding for ALL Kids in Alabama isn't doggy-doo to the over 150,000 children in my State who receive insurance through the program. Mr. Speaker, I have a message to my colleagues in the Senate: Enough is enough. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will suspend. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Georgia.
