This shouldn't be hyperpartisan. My friends on the other side of the aisle, I am sure they like taking the train. I am sure their constituents and their bosses do, as well. Having other people pay for it is an awesome circumstance. Everybody would want that. We all like things for free, but things aren't free. We have to pay for things in this country, and we are out of money, Mr. Chairman. It shouldn't be hyperpartisan, and it is not hyperpartisan. Those in this room would have you believe that, but there are people on both sides of the aisle who know that this thing is inefficient, wasteful, dangerous, and, yes, indeed, reckless. Mr. Chairman, I urge adoption of this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. {time} 2030
