I encourage the majority to put their estimates to the test. Let's make this a bill with a 7-year sunset like the amendment that I proposed. Let's come back, look at it, and see if it really did save money. If it really did save species, maybe we should fund it at more than $1.4 billion a year. Maybe we can find that funding with an offset. But the simple truth is it is all speculation right now, and we are getting ready to put a permanent mandatory spending program in place with no way to come back and have checks and balances on it without repealing the law. And how many times does that happen when Congress passes a law? Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Tiffany). {time} 1530
