I rise in support of this amendment. The American people have spoken. They demand that Washington stop its out-of-control spending now, not sometime in the future. And despite what the administration tells you, every last dime in this bill will be borrowed. Every last dime of the $1 trillion will be borrowed. The cost of this bill, this bill alone, will exceed $500 for every single household in America, just for this bill. We have to stop the spending now. We cannot afford it. The massive debt burden on our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren cannot be afforded.
