I think one thing that I must say is that, in my opinion, this $220 billion industry can cope with this bill--not only cope with it, but that industry, business, and the consumers of this country will all benefit from this, and the Nation will benefit because it is a global economy where we are competing so strenuously with the other nations of the world.
