I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, just because it's historic doesn't mean it's good. I think we've got to be reminded of that. I think back to history for something that actually was good, and that was when Alexander Hamilton said regarding our Constitution, ``Here, sir, the people govern.'' We would be wise to listen to the American people. The American people have said ``no'' to the ABCs of PelosiCare. They have said ``no'' to the arrogance of this bill. They have said ``no'' to the budget-busting nature of this bill. And they have said ``no'' to the crippling of the economy of this bill. In Illinois, a manufacturer called Caterpillar said that next year alone it will cost the company a hundred million dollars. What does that do to a State that is left roughshod by overpromises and underdelivering on a stimulus that failed? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will note that the time of the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Camp) has expired. The gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Levin) has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining.
