“I have deep and abiding concerns about this legislation. We are in a recession. The American people want to see action. This is not the action that they want. Indeed, I have had constituents that have called and e-mailed, and local officials who have said, you know, stop, and do this right. Do not give us a spending bill that is going to leave us with an insurmountable debt. Today is the birthday, the 9-month birthday of my first grandchild. His name is Jack Ketchel. And as Jack turns 9 months old today, Jack is receiving from the Federal Government a $35,000 debt. Tomorrow Jack's share of the national debt will go up.”
