I thank the good gentleman from Texas (Mr. Roy) for bringing this to light. He is absolutely right. We didn't come here, none of us came here on either side of the aisle, because we thought Washington was perfect. We came here because we know it is broken. If you know something is broken, why do you keep doing the exact same things that have broken it? Yet, we are being asked, once again, when we come here--well, this is what we always do. We are running out of money. We have to pass this. I remind everybody, we are, what, $32-, $31-, $30-something trillion in debt. They don't even print this money anymore; they just digitally create it. We don't have the money to do this. Not one more penny to rule against the consent of the govern is what I say.
