I think we are ready to vote here. The point is if we do not pass this amendment, we are going to hear from our private sector businesses who will be treated unfairly, who will lost their opportunity to compete with the public sector in a constructive way, and we are going to wind up having to change this bill down the road when we realize the unintended consequences of this legislation.
