It is interesting hearing all this talk about we have got to do it now, we have got to do it now. It has been delayed since last weekend because of our friends across the aisle. Also, regarding the bill that we previously passed, it exempted the big corporations we are now hearing are so evil. So we need to get our story consistent here. But thank goodness the President put a travel ban in while some were trying to conspire, spy, and impeach. He kept being persistent, and, as a result, there are fewer people with the disease. Now, $2 trillion is vastly too much money, but I spent much of the night reviewing all of the sunsets in the bill. I am satisfied that most of them will prevent most of the waste, but there are some pet projects in here. Mr. Speaker, it is time to turn back to the God that so many have turned from and then use the tools we have got to help those who have been put in jeopardy. I will vote for the bill.
