, so far schip, we've been fighting this fight for so many years, five year reauthorization of chip must be paid for. it centered and it must be paid for. at the same time that republicans have given i nearly $1.5 trillion tax break permanently, and paid for, to corporate america. so where is their value system? corporations are people, okay, so corporate people could get more attention and little children. but does that ratio of difference, that's , that's int. it's unconscionable. so anyway, right now again we have been working for a few months to find respectable pay-fors for this recognize has be paid for. we are working in a bipartisan way to get that done, but nonetheless republicans are still insisting on putting forth the walden bill which is we're going to take this, we will use money that would be used for children's childhood inoculation, my friend, michigan -- i was thinking of flint but she's not, but nonetheless, the flint area, lead poisoning, all this kind of issues, they're taking that money to pay for children's health insurance program. where saying that, get out of he

schip. we passed we agreed on the authorizing side. unfortunately we couldn't agree on the funding side because you wanted to cut things we ought not to be cut. clearly we would have gotten to an agreement. in fact, you passed a bill on ipab, $17.6 billion unpaid for that would have paid for all of that. all of that. so mr. leader, i will yield to if you want but i just plead with every one of the members of the body, this is not good for the american people. you say you don't want a c.r. you had 90 days to come to an agreement with us or with yourselves. you have 218 votes. ou just showed us. i yield to my friend. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california. mr. mccarthy: not continue debate because i know people have places to go but you said we need 218 to show it. we just showed 221. but the one thing i will tell you, when you talk about bipartisan, when you talked about that c.r., 133 on this side voted for it. more than the majority of the majority. that's where bipartisanship comes. i can sit back and we can rehash ho

it like the schip, i call that, chip, it's about our younger people. it's about hopes and aspirations that the people fully support and republicans and democrats and independents as well. the other issue in terms of border, migration, all the rest of that, those are big issues that we have to deal with and welcome that discussion. i want to thank the chair of the committee because of the caucus because they have been engaged daily, intensely in a bipartisan way. on how we can do something in this way and also have some peace of security that mr. newhouse very correctly points out, i want some border security in there. you don't take the chip and en say we're going to do everything we want to do on immigration on the border, on dream. that's a bigger conversation that we lcome, respect and we want sustainability. i think the congress is very capable of that. i think the bill comes to the floor, the dream act, is overwhelmingly passes from what members have said to us. so that's all we want is a shot. just a shot. let's have a vote on it. mr. cole: i wan

but the first bill that passed the whole congress was you and i call it schip. we go back.but the chip bill. that was the beginning of 2009. we had a full commitment to that bill. when you talk about we don't want it to happen, no. this is a high priority. it was the first bill we sent to the president. but i do think you can take heart in the fact there is bipartisan conversation that is almost there for agreed upon offsets in a bipartisan way. we had hoped that that would be what would be the basis for the funding in this bill, but it is not. but it is well down the road. good faith with the speakers office,- the speaker's the house and senate, democrats and republicans, and the white house on that score. mr. burgess: what i'm hearing you saying you will support the schip provision in the continuing resolution because we should be able to get this worked out -- ms. pelosi: you don't have the right offset in the bill, but we do agree it's important. mr. burgess: it's an offset we agreed to use before. ms. policy: it is a different offsets, but mr. burgess, thank you for yo

schip. you're right. you waited. we didn't get an agreement. but we waited long after 9:30 when the gentleman says he's very concerned about funding it. the authorization expired. you passed ultimately a bill that we didn't vote for. you passed it on your own. if you really were that concerned, you would have passed it before the bill authorization expired, september 30. we passed it some weeks later. and we passed it with a piece of funding in there that's going to undermine, for instance, this is one example, vaccination for children. because you funded it in part by reducing substantially the prevention fund, which seeks to prevent illness. on bipartisanship. very frankly, we had a two-week c.r. the only thing you've worked on from our perspective is the tax bill. and you did not include us in those discussions. you had closed hearings. we had a conference hearing yesterday. mr. neal tried to move an amendment out of order. wasn't accepted. it was a done deal. done deal in secret. i told my friend, i re-read a little bit of "young guns reque

funding for victims of hurricanes and wildfires was signed off on as were temporary extensions for schiphealth insurance to impoverished kids and pregnant women. the deep-seeded problems over funding, they do remain. how will this play out, you think? >> i think we just kicked the can down the road and i expect, you know, in january, or whenever, this short-term funding runs out, there's going to be some more tense negotiations and, of course, republicans have this problem where they have the majority and, yet, there's going to be people in the freedom caucus who have concerns about budgets and things like that. well-founded concerns about deficits. look, i would just say i think republicans are really -- donald trump, that tweet, may be ill advised to send out a tweet. he was absolutely right in terms of his strategy. republicans and democrat democrat, they're finishing this year astonishingly on an up note, on a positive note, and then they could have immediately lost all that momentum and the worst possible way by not funding taking care of sick kids and disaster relief. i mean, you w
