I appreciate my friend from Pennsylvania's comments. It is interesting, and it really is heartbreaking, when you see so many people, like all of the masses that were here in Washington, to protest over the ObamaCare bill. Anyway, it is rather dramatic. The unions are now coming out. Of course union leaders were all for ObamaCare. Many of us said back at the time: Do you know what, when the union members find out what the union leaders have done to them in supporting ObamaCare, they are going to be exceedingly upset. Now when you look at the results of ObamaCare forcing so many people to part-time work--as my friend from Pennsylvania was alluding to, people now have been relegated to part-time work--they may lose that. When you combine the devastation of ObamaCare and people that are losing their jobs and are being forced to part-time work and now having to do more than one part-time job with less benefits, and then you add on it the Senate bill, especially for African Americans here, it is absolutely devastating. It is a devastating one-two punch to the gut of America when you look at the Senate bill and how many Americans will be really troubled to find employment. We have other people that are here that also wish to be heard. I yield such time as he may consume to my friend from Louisiana, Dr. Fleming.
