On the recordJuly 16, 2002
The fact is it costs $44,000 a minute to run this House. It would appear to me that every time they talk about reducing a bill by $10,000, if they are going to spend $44,000 of Social Security money, it looks to me like we are losing money, and I would encourage them to try to work out something and they ought to do it in advance. They ought to go to the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations. They ought to go to the people who write the various appropriations bills and suggest to them before prime time television and then try to iron out their differences. But, Mr. Chairman, I want to be sure and yield back 2 minutes of my 5 minutes so I can save the American taxpayers $88,000.
