I thank my good friend, Ranking Member Smith, for yielding. Madam Speaker, it was just 4 short years ago that Speaker Pelosi tweeted, ``Republicans shouldn't vote without an updated CBO score.'' Those were the Speaker's own words 4 years ago. The Speaker even doubled down later in that tweet. She accused Republicans of attempting to ``jam this bill through without an updated CBO score of its impacts.'' Again, that was the Speaker 4 years ago. Apparently, the Speaker has forgotten those words, because later today, Democrats plan to ram through this Big Government tax-and-spend proposal with no information from the nonpartisan CBO about the true cost and the true economic impact their spending spree will have on the American people. So I guess it is fair to say that the Speaker subscribes to that age- old adage, ``do as I say, not as I do.'' Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
