Mike Johnson said "Madam Speaker, Mr. LaMalfa is exactly right. It has been only 9 months. It is only going to get worse. Madam Speaker, what you have heard tonight is a quick summary from a number of our friends. We could go on for hours if we had the time, but I know we are almost out of time. We talked about the economic crisis, energy crisis, foreign policy crisis, border crisis. It goes on and on and on. I will summarize and close with this: We have two competing visions for America. It is now very clear: It is free-market capitalism v. Big Government socialism. I think the American people see the results of the latter. I hope we have an opportunity very soon in the next election cycle to get back to the former. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ___________________
