$1 million a day. Mr. Speaker, we need to let that sink in. $1 million a day can be able to assist a small business in providing health care for their employees. $1 million on the back end of that can prevent individuals from paying high copays, because that is what is taking the American people under, this whole health care issue. $1 million a day will be able to resolve some of the issues of overcrowding and the underfunding of No Child Left Behind in my district. $1 million a day, goodness gracious, maybe we will be able to prevent many young Americans from making youthful indiscretions so that they don't have to be on the taxpayers' dole and being incarcerated.
