America will never know, Mr. Chairman, how much work went into crafting this amendment to get this fix that does a little bit to take us down the road. And, boy, it is important to me to see $100 million cut out of the resources that would be used to implement ObamaCare. Mr. Chairman, I am also very confident in declaring it to be ObamaCare. I listened to President Obama address it as ObamaCare on February 25 of last year at the Blair House during the health care summit. I thought that was the source of the moniker ObamaCare, was the President himself, and if anyone thinks otherwise, I think they should look back and check the record. ObamaCare is this: It's not $1 trillion in deficit over 20 years if we don't go through with this atrocity; it's $2.6 trillion in spending in the first full decade, according to the chairman of the Budget Committee, Paul Ryan--$2.6 trillion in spending. We are here in this CR to cut spending.
