There was a lot of talk tonight about what happens if we vote for this bill. What are my colleagues voting for if they vote against this bill? Democrats who aren't going to vote for this bill will be voting for a $4.5 trillion tax increase. They will be voting for waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid. They will be voting for illegal immigrants stealing from Medicaid. They will be voting for continuing green energy scams. They will be voting for allowing environmental extremists to continue to drive up the costs of energy for average American families. What are they voting against? They are voting against a $150 billion increase for our military, and they are voting against a base housing allowance increase for our soldiers. That is in this bill. They are voting against tax relief for seniors and working Americans. Let's end the nonsense. Let's do what is right for America. Let's pass this rule and pass this bill.
