On the recordFebruary 15, 2012
I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise in opposition to the rule. I like some of the reforms in this bill. There are some reforms that have been overdue and are necessary. The problem I have is that if this rule waives all points of order against the bill, the bill as I understand it--and nobody can inform me otherwise--is that it violates the Ryan budget, or the so-called House budget, that we passed. We don't know how much. It could be tens of billions, could be just under that, but it seems to violate the budget that we passed. That's why we're having to waive all points of order against the bill, and for that I voice my opposition for the rule.
