The House of Representatives passed this bill. They passed it by more than a few votes to spare and sent it here. I believe if the American people knew what was in it, they would favor it. The people in my State would favor it. I think the American people would favor it. How does the Senator think the good people in the House, the good people of America, who overwhelmingly favor a restraint in spending and balancing our budget, would feel about the leader curtailing our debate on this important subject and saying: I think this piece of legislation is about as weak and senseless as anything that has ever come on this Senate floor. I'm not going to waste the Senate's time.
