On the recordFebruary 17, 2011
No problem. I understand, this takes time. When we talk about affecting $30 billion in economic commerce, I would expect that to take some time. Now, again, I appreciate the concern. I appreciate everything we're dealing with. This is a very serious issue. But, my goodness, the people in my district are already waking up wondering if they are going to have a job tomorrow, begging the free market to work. And that's all we're asking. If we want to take this up at a later time, fine. But is it really appropriate, when we're debating hundreds of amendments to a continuing resolution, for this to be the area where we do something that's, frankly, been working or has been in study for 5 years and has a lot more to go? I yield back the balance of my time.
