“I can't even tell you that this bill is over the budget because not only have we spent the entire summer not appropriating the Federal budget, as Congress is obligated to do, but the Democrat majority didn't even pass a budget. Didn't even try to pass a budget. I mean it really is extraordinary. You can't say this bill exceeds the budget because the majority didn't even pass a budget. Now, I heard the distinguished chairman of the full committee, who has my respect, the gentleman from Wisconsin, refer to this bill as fiscally responsible. I respect the gentleman. I believe, maybe grading on the curve that he is grading on, maybe it is. But the American people deserve to know the truth about this bill. It is a fact this bill does spend less than--1 percent less than last year's bill.”
