On the recordMarch 10, 2010
I urge the Speaker not to do something like this. Listen to the American public and follow normal order. They could send this back to committee, to the Finance and the HELP Committees, work a bipartisan agreement on this, say we have to hit this number or that, let's do an incremental approach and come out with a bill that would have 75 votes. That is doable. We put forward a whole bunch of ideas at the Blair House. Here are different things we would support. Put out a long day of discussion. That is the normal order that produces good legislation that will stand the test of time. This will not stand the test of time, and it is going to bankrupt the country.
