There has been a lot of discussion here about the pay-for, and the words ``cynical'' and ``cynicism'' have been used. We have got proposals from the other side of the aisle, from our friends in the Senate that want to tax small businesses, the job creators, at the very time when our economy is in such trouble. Then there are other proposals that say let's tax oil companies, let's drive up the price of gas. You can talk about cynicism. What we're talking about is using a slush fund that is provided to the Secretary to spend as she sees fit, and that is perceived as an attack somehow on women. What a surprise in this election year. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has again expired.
