Shame on those who are saying that young FBI agent, that young DEA agent, maybe his wife is pregnant, that they may not get health benefits next week because of this horrible political game. Members on the other side are bringing this House to a new low, telling law enforcement either they will not get the police program or they will get half pay; telling law enforcement unless it is done exactly our way they will get half pay. Republicans are not the party of law and order any more. They are not the party defending law enforcement any more. They have become the party of extremism, of political games, and the American people know it.
