Mr. Speaker, I think she offers ample evidence as to why she will remain the minority leader in this body unless she is involuntarily returned to the private sector where perhaps she can take up a career in writing more fiction. Although I would offer some friendly advice: it is probably not good to try to rewrite the Orwellian tale of ``Animal Farm,'' but the valid theme rings true here as borne out by my friend, the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi) the minority leader. I guess in her mind some animals are more equal than others. Rather than an imaginary sound of a porcine species, perhaps if we listen closely, we hear the braying of the typical tired, shopworn refrain. The notion that somehow the highest and best use of the people's money is to be captured in the coffers of the government to offer this type of job growth. Job growth for bureaucrats, money always in the coffers being overspent. Not really accountable to the people but that for some of our friends is the highest and best use of the money for the American people.

my colleagues, here we are in America's House, having a debate that is altogether appropriate, because as our founders stated the goal, it was to form a more perfect union. And because we are human beings, there is always a gulf between…
