Mr. BRADY. Madam Speaker, I yield myself 30 seconds. Let me fact- check the absurd claim that Congress has left State and local governments behind. We fund one-third of State budgets year-to-year. We have already given $150 billion direct aid to State and local governments. Some Democrat governors haven't even sent it down to their local communities. $260 billion in State unemployment; $100 billion for State and local hospitals in healthcare; $45 billion for State and local disaster aid; $30 billion for State and local schools and colleges; $25 billion for State and local mass transit; and more Medicaid money for our State and local governments. That claim is simply absurd. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Idaho (Mr. Fulcher).

Mr. BRADY. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Carter).
