--that we have to resort to the budget reconciliation process which has a set of statutory provisions and rules. There will be a fulsome debate. There has already been a debate on a bill you haven't read. I suggest you take the time to read it, and then we can talk about the details. This bill--142 pages compared to 2,700 pages of ObamaCare--doesn't take that long to read. This is a start. This is not the finish. This is called the normal legislative process. I suggest colleagues, rather than criticize a bill they haven't read, they read it, and then let's have a credible debate. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Democratic leader.
