It is a pleasure to welcome to the university of Mary Washington nathalia holt. [applause] nathalia thank you so much.

And something that we should be very wary of. This is in addition to what we were already running debt of nearly a trillion dollars. Its adding a couple extra hundred billion dollars a year to a budget and a country and a congress that had already recklessly let spending get out of control. The bill is nearly 700 pages. It was given to us at midnight last night, and i would venture to say no one has read the bill. No one can thoroughly digest a 700page bill overnight, and i do think that it does things that we really, really ought to talk about and how we should pay for them. One of the things this bill does is going to add 500 billion in spending over a twoyear period. This bill increases spending 21 . Does that sound like a large amount . Is anybody at home getting a bonus or an increase in your paycheck of 21 . And yet your government is going to spend 21 more without really having a full debate, without having amendments. The exchange you just watched was me asking to have a 15minu

I want people to ha
