"Madam Speaker, this is a difficult time in the life of our nation, in the life of our nation`s economy, and that of families and small businesses and family farms. Remarkably today, with an embarrassingly brief amount of debate and discussion and amendment, the Democrat Majority is poised to bring to the floor of the Congress what amounts to the largest tax increase in American history, under the guise of climate change legislation.
Now, there`s a lot of debate about what this bill will cost the average American household, from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars, but there actually is no debate over the fact that this legislation will cost millions of American jobs. On that point there is no discussion. The bill itself actually includes a fund that would provide resources for Americans who lose their jobs if cap and trade becomes law. And there are news reports this morning, although I am yet to confirm them, that there may be new trade restrictions in this legislation because the expectation, and it is reasonable, is by raising the cost of energy for every American business that we will see businesses flee overseas, taking jobs abroad in these difficult economic times.
It is extraordinary to say the least, but the way that this bill is coming to the floor ought to be disturbing to every American, Republican, Democrat, and Independent, that`s looking in. Last night at 3:09 a.m., House Democrats filed a 309-page amendment and denied Republican and Democrat amendments, to the tune of the 224 that were submitted. Three hours of debate, one amendment filed at 3:09 in the morning that`s 309 pages.
And I would ask the Democrat Majority and the Speaker respectfully, what`s the hurry? What are we hiding here that we can`t afford more time for the American people and their elected representatives to examine what`s in this bill? Is there more corporate welfare? More deals for special interests? Were Members that were on the fence placated with special provisions for industries in their districts? We are hurrying to find out, and we have to hurry, because the Democrat Majority just recently denied us one additional minute of debate.
You know the term congress, Madam Speaker, is actually an ancient term, it means interaction between men and women in ideas and philosophies. This is not Congress. I don`t know what this is. Three o`clock in the morning, 300 hundred pages, one amendment, is a travesty."

It's not the original bill I have a problem with its the added 300 PAGES of Pelosi and Obama's socialism that infuriates me. Mark it here that I stand fully against this farce of a reform. I sat and watched Boehner an Ohio Rep. read through this bill and let me tell you what that is an unconstitutional piece of shit. Lets help the climate, more like lets help ourselves and control the U.S.A. I didn't vote for Obama and I still do not believe he is a good man.
