jackson lee: mr. speaker, we are here basically because the joker has taken control of the congress. everyone knows that this is a procedural calamity that will not work. the house bill was dead on arrival in the other body because it raised the premium of medicare on seniors. let me tell you what we are doing today. the washington republicans are taking a high risk gamble. this is gambling. this is throwing the dice. a senator said it is important that we extend the short term to get to the long term on payroll tax. richard lugar said we must do what is best for the american people. my voice might be a little raspy, but i am watching the trees and the lights in people's homes as we go through the house you can see those lights brightly shining. then you get closer to that tree and you see them beginning to pop and burn as the christmas tree burns. and then those who have lights in their homes, candles, you see them burning to the very end. it is extinguished. they are putting the american people in d
