Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, wow, that was an impassioned speech by the chairman, but I have to remind the chairman that there were a lot of Democrat liberal wish lists in the relief package that were passed, including releasing prisoners that were 50 years old and older--didn't matter what they were charged with--from prison and giving $1,200 relief payments to illegal immigrants using taxpayer dollars. So maybe if Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats would have actually talked to Republicans before they pushed through a bill, there would have been more bipartisan support to help small businesses and the American people. With this previous question and the amendment, we are trying to do just that. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Bacon), my friend.
