I yield the gentleman an additional 1 minute. Mr. McDERMOTT. The only thing that I think one can say is that it is a bad idea to get rid of some muscle to force us to look at costs, but it is worse to pay for it by taking money away from health departments. They are the ones that always get cut. Who wants inspectors? The other side says: We don't like regulations. It is regulations that are ruining America. We have got to get those regulations out. You don't want regulations enforced in restaurants? Then take $7 billion away from it and see what kind of restaurant problems you start to have. Milwaukee had the cryptosporidium organism in the water supply. That is a health problem that is dealt with by the actual health department in the county. We are taking $7 billion to pay for this badly constructed idea.
