“Thank you. And those economists have said, when they have compared the two bills, the Republican one and the one that we are going to have rammed down our throats in the next day or two, if they give it 48 hours from now, that ours will be half the cost to the taxpayers, but yet create a million and a half new private sector jobs. Yet, we haven't even had the opportunity to have an open debate about which plan is better, even though we were promised that earlier. So, what we are left with is to rifle through a monstrous bill where we have uncovered money being funded to ACORN, door-to-door activities to find the 1.2 million people in the United States who evidently haven't bought their DTV converter box--$650 million for that--and a health committee that is going to second-guess physicians. We need the opportunity to be heard and to show sunlight on this process.”
