and I do rise in opposition to the legislation that was just sent to the United States House

Representatives from the United States Senate.

I just spent a good deal of time going around the country, traveling to Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, you might imagine

why.

Spoke to thousands of Americans.

Not one of them.

Not one American said, please, Congressman Roy, add more money to the debt.

Please Congressman Roy keep spending money we don't have. Keep spending deficit

spending every year bankrupting our kids and grandkids

but that is precisely what we're doing yet again

kicking the can down the road

that's what we do it's what we do best in this chamber

so what we do best in Congress it is It's what we do best in Congress. It is why the

American people are so frustrated with this town, with the swamp, because it is a

swamp that is entirely not drained. We are sitting here doing the same thing again. It is Groundhog Day in

the House Chamber all the time, every day. Yet again spending money we don't have.

Last year, an agreement was reached with spending levels and caps.

Now, I didn't particularly love those levels of caps, the number of us didn't.

And there were supposedly some side deals.

Does that sound swampy?

Side deals.

But what was written into the law?
