On the recordNovember 9, 2005
we may be a little more intense tonight than normal, and the reason is that tomorrow this budget may come before this House, and all the rhetoric over the past few weeks may become reality tomorrow on this floor. And we are not going to sit up in our offices and watch C-SPAN and watch this happen. We are not going to sit in our office and turn on Chris Matthews or some MTV, VH-1 show and just relax tonight. The American people will be hurt if this budget passes this Congress tomorrow. People who are on Medicaid will be hurt tomorrow. People who are trying to bite, scratch, and pinch to send their kids to college will be hurt tomorrow. And veterans who fought for this country will be hurt tomorrow. And if they think we are going to stand up, or lay down, in our offices and turn the TV on or go back home to our apartments and watch this happen without a fight, they have got another think coming, because they have taken this country, and in the last 4 years borrowed over $1 trillion from foreign countries. In the last 224 years, we have not borrowed that much from foreign countries.
