“I come to the floor during this rules debate to raise a subject that I think needs to be brought before this Congress... we did not shut off the funding to ObamaCare because in a--I won't say a legislative sleight of hand--there was written in the ObamaCare bill automatic appropriations that just last week we were able to pull all those pieces out and add them up and we received a CRS report last Friday that shows that $105.5 billion are automatically triggered for spending that will implement ObamaCare whether or not we shut off the funds in this CR going forward. These are automatic appropriations. I believed--and I've seen it for a long time and worked on this thing ever since mid-last summer--that we need to shut off all funding to ObamaCare in every appropriations bill going forward.”
