SMALL BUSINESS AND INFRASTRUCTURE JOBS TAX ACT OF 20102010-03-24
Mr. CAMP
Mr. CAMP. Madam Speaker, I am informed that the underlying bill has a Budget Act problem, and the waiving of all points of order against the consideration of the bill in the full House, including 303, would make the gentleman's point of order unacceptable and would make his point of order invalid.
Mr. CAMP. Madam Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
SENATE AMENDMENTS TO H.R. 3590, SERVICE MEMBERS HOME OWNERSHIP TAX ACT OF 2009, AND H.R. 4872, HEALTH CARE AND EDUCATION RECONCILIATION ACT OF 20102010-03-21
Mr. CAMP
Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, at this time I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from California (Mr. McCarthy).
Mr. CAMP. Madam Speaker, I yield myself 1 minute. The American people have spoken. They do not want the tentacles of the Federal Government reaching into their lives and controlling their personal health care decisions. Yet that is exactly what will happen under the Democrats' health care bill. Federal bureaucrats will be making your health care choices for you and your family, and the IRS will be enforcing them. The American people know that you can't reduce health care costs by spending a trillion dollars or raising taxes by more than half a trillion dollars. The American people know that you cannot cut Medicare by over half a trillion dollars without hurting seniors. And the American people know that you can't create an entirely new government entitlement program without exploding the deficit. They are right, and the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has confirmed it. Simply put, the Democrats' bill will not only ruin our health care system, but the tax increases will ruin our economy and kill jobs. I urge my colleagues to listen to the American people and kill the bill. I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. CAMP. Madam Speaker, I yield 45 seconds to the gentleman from California (Mr. Herger), a distinguished member of the Ways and Means Committee.
