there is another location in huron, south dakota. there is one in sioux falls, south dakota. i think this is the tip of the iceberg of what we're going to see in terms of the job losses caused, caused by regulatory overreach because a federal agency decided they knew best and went above and beyond even what the united states congress had said with regard to this particular issue. so, madam president, these are, again, real-life examples of decisions made here in washington, d.c., and the impacts they have in the real world. i hope that we can -- we can put policies in place here that will enable and encourage economic growth and job creation, not hinder and inhibit it. with that, madam president, i yield the floor. a senator: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from nebraska. mr. johanns: madam president, i rise today to talk about an issue that i have found the debate to be very fascinating about. that is the proposed medicare reform. i find the debate so fascinating because it's proceeding as if there had been no changes to medicare recently. anyone telling

our state of south dakota is a good example.ate of south dakota, the legislature can't go home until the budget is balanced. that simply is something that is a requirement. and many states across this country have that same sort of requirement. it is an imperative that requires these states to every single year put their books in order. and that is something that is desperately lacking here in washington, d.c. and i hope, again, that we could enact a balanced budget amendment. there is one that's been proposed, several that have been proposed. i'm a cosponsor of a couple of different versions of that. but we have 47 republicans that are on a balanced budget amendment, and i hope that our colleagues on the other side will join us in at least bringing that to a vote, putting it before the american people and engaging them in a debate about how best to solve our nation's fiscal problems. and i think that they would agree that a balanced budget amendment is a very simple, straightforward way in which to do that. i also believe, mr.
