mr. lee: i would hardly call it weak. calls for legislation like this date back a couple of hundred years. thomas jefferson was arguably the first one to suggest this kind of proposal. he called for it again and again. those calls have continued throughout most of our history, but they have accelerated in recent decades. they have accelerated because this body has refused to balance its budget and it's abused its borrowing power, to the point where we're now spending more than $1.5 trillion a year more than we bring in every single year. it's bankrupting our country. we're burying our children under a mountain of debt. we're killing jobs. we're spending money we don't have, and that's wrong. i would hardly call legislation designed to deal with that in a permanent, binding way senseless. i'm insulted that the majority leader would suggest that this is somehow senseless just because he doesn't like it, because it will make him less powerful. mr. sessions: well, i think that's getting to the nub of the matter. i think it's a sense in which -- now, for a constitutional amendment to pass, it has to h

mr. president, we will raise the debt ceiling, but only if you agree to cut up the credit cards. nothing has changed in the debate. i also find it quite interesting that the president would quote thomasrson, allude to ronald reagan, both of whom supported a balanced budget amendments to the constitution, and the president of the united states last night was silent on the issue, that could solve this problem, once and for all. again, mr. president, we have heard it before and we know you want to get it done before the next election. but it's not about the next election. it is about the next generation. >> i'm excited that the house will vote on the balanced budget amendment on thursday, the first time we have voted then balanced budget amendment since 1997. and in the -- one of the polls that was done last week showed 74% of americans support this amendment. and what was most important -- impressive in the poll was 2/3 of democrats support a balanced budget amendment and there is broad bipartisan support for moving forward on a balanced budget amendment, and, we are going to be taking action this week, when thomas jefferson after they finished the constitution, he said if i could make

mr. speaker. i rise in support of h.r. 2018 and i thank the gentleman for yielding me this time. last year thomas donahue, the president of the u.s. chamber of commerce, said in a speech to a major jobs summit, quote, taking collectively the regulatory activity under way is so overwhelmingly beyond anything we have ever seen that we risk moving this country away from a government of the people to a government of regulators. mr. speaker, if we are ever going to see an economic recovery, if we are ever going to create enough jobs for our young people, we have got to stop this explosion of federal rules, regulations, and red tape. this country could be boomling right now -- booming right now but it's being held back by federal bureaucrats who have very little or no business experience and who does not realize how difficult it is to survive in small business or on small farms today. this is my 23rd year in the congress. i believe i have heard and read more complaints about the e.p.a. in the last couple of years than about all other agencies, federal agencies combined. this bill is a very moderate att

mr. speaker, i come to the house floor to remember a great friend, a good friend of mine who passed away last tuesday. thomas sop city councilmember, ed bell, was a huge presence in georgia and devoted cheerleader for both upson county, the city of thomason, and me. ed's life of tireless service started when he entered the u.s. navy as an aviation ordnance man for four years during the korean conflict. he continued with a sense of duty as an agent with state farm insurance, where he worked for 33 years and became a mentor for every state farm agent under his direction. he was an agent's agent. and the people that he insured knew that ed was their agent and he was there to protect their interest. ed was serving his fourth term on the thomason city council and was truly dedicated to improving the lives of those in his community. if i ever found myself within 25 miles of thomason and made the mistake of not calling mr. ed, you can bet that he would somehow find out and i would get an earful over the phone for not coming by to see him. and when you came to visit, you had to be sure to set enough time for ed to i
