On the recordNovember 30, 2010
Madam Speaker, I have several concerns with the underlying bill that the Democrats have brought before us today. For a start, this bill is over 270 pages and costs over $5.7 billion; it is not PAYGO-compliant; it was written behind closed doors in the dark of night; it does not afford Republicans the opportunity to amend the legislation to improve the bill and to make it more responsible to the taxpayer; and it combines six pieces of controversial legislation of concern to my colleagues on this side of the aisle.
