“Anytime we stifle debate, and that is what occurred when the Democrats did this, they alter substance. What we were trying to do with an amendment that went through committee and we worked on with the chairman's staff, an amendment that the chairman said withdraw the amendment from committee and he will make sure that it gets through Rules and to the floor, our amendment simply said we should no longer have the rich and the wealthy who live in these great mansions on the coast and what have you, have them be subsidized by the poor widow in the house right across the street. We thought that was absurd. This amendment would have fixed that situation. The chairman was on board with us. He went to the committee and testified in favor of it as well.”
