I thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding. I am interested to hear my colleagues on the other side of the aisle who designate themselves as moderates running around saying that they need a CBO score. Yet, we know this isn't paid for. We all know it is a lie. But you know what you don't need a CBO score for? You don't need a CBO score to tell you that there is a 900 percent increase in OSHA fines because you are going to cause small businesses to go out of business because of mandates. You don't need a CBO score to know that there is an amnesty provision in here right when our border is completely on fire to provide amnesty for 7 million. You don't need a CBO score for the $500 billion of a unicorn energy strategy that is already crippling the country, causing gas prices and electric bills to go up while President Biden is across the Atlantic begging for oil and taking cold baths in Glasgow. You don't need a CBO score for that, and you don't need to know what is in this garbage bill that is going to hurt the American people. Reject it resoundingly this evening. Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, I am proud to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pallone), the distinguished chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee.

We distort, and so they want help. I get it. Yet, what do I do? Do I vote for food stamps? I am a cancer survivor--you know that--and I have cancer groups coming in and asking for money. I look at them, and I say: Well, can you go find…

Let's fast-forward. What we are really talking about--for everybody at home watching C-SPAN, all 14 of you--we have a situation where ObamaCare expanded the Medicaid population, and it expanded it massively to a population that is much…
