That's what this is about. Ladies and gentlemen of this Chamber, Mr. Speaker, there are two constituencies out there. Mr. Posey from Florida said it well. We're robbing Peter to pay Paul. And why that works around here is because Paul can vote for us. I ask every Member here today: Who stands for the constituency that can't directly vote for the next election? Who stands for their constituency that doesn't exist yet but will? Because of the decisions that are made here on this floor in this Federal Government in this town where too often up is down and down is up and black is white and white is black, we don't represent the constituency. We don't prioritize the right constituency at the right time. This is a chance to do this. This is a chance to not let us have that out anymore, to make us have the tax fight, to make us have the cut spending fight, but not allow the option of kicking the can down the road to make people who aren't here today pay for it. {time} 1150
