On the recordMay 15, 2008
Yesterday, the House waived the PAYGO rules to give farm subsidies to millionaires. Today, the House wants to enforce PAYGO to raise taxes on small businesses. I fear for this institution. The majority is taking us down a slippery slope. And I don't think they are going to be able to put this genie back in the bottle. The committees have been ignored. The budget has been ignored. The rules have been ignored. What is next? I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this bill.
