Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 30 seconds to just say that the fact of the matter is we are not talking about voodoo economics here. We are talking about representative democracy. The American people elect their Representatives from 435 congressional districts; 50 States elect their Senators, and they send us to Washington, D.C., to write the laws of the land. The laws that the gentleman referred to were all written by the United States Congress, signed into law by various Presidents. Then those laws are turned into regulations, and that is where there is no more representative democracy. The bureaucracy that writes the regulations has no accountability. They write regulations that cost too much, that strangle the job creation that we both--the gentleman from Georgia and I would like to see greater job creation and more jobs for the middle class in this country. The CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
