In summary, I would like to say that House Concurrent Resolution 102 talks directly about the problem that we have about Government spending and overregulation in our Government. Whereas there are $3 trillion 520 billion that are spent each year, of this, $785 billion is related to Federal regulatory costs. This body will be taking under hand the opportunity just in the coming weeks to talk about a tax cut for hard-working Americans that is only $85 billion. Mr. Speaker, of that figure, we can see that $785 billion, a larger, much larger figure, is just for regulation. We can do a better job.
