On the recordMarch 17, 2010
I would yield myself 30 additional seconds. So I guess the other thing that I need to point out to Members of the body and to the American public is, because of the procedure, this is all deemed, apparently--and I hate to use that word. This is all defined to be emergency, and so it's not paid for. The rule that brought these bills to the floor waives PAYGO, and my recollection is not too many months ago my friends in the majority were beating themselves and congratulating themselves because they had instituted these tough PAYGO rules. But if I am correct, I believe that none of this is paid for and the rule does not require PAYGO. With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
