On the recordJanuary 18, 2011
I thank the chairman for yielding time. I listened to this delivery ahead of me. I spent 28\1/2\ years in business. I met payroll for over 1,400 consecutive weeks. I never saw a regulation that made my job easier or allowed me to make more money. This is 2,400 pages of legislation. It's thousands more pages of regulation. It's oppressive to small business. It should be called the ``Entrepreneurial Extinction Act,'' not this health care plan. This is ObamaCare. It must be pulled out completely by the roots. The American people know this. That's why there are 87 freshman Republicans on this side and nine freshman Democrats on this side. The American people have spoken resoundingly. It is our obligation to go down this path. It's not symbolic. It's very important. Because without this vote on this floor, we can't move forward with the rest of the scenario to eliminate ObamaCare. The language in the bill is pretty simple, and it concludes with this language, ``act is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such act are restored or revived as if such act had never been enacted.''
