For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the purpose of debate only.
Let me just offer a couple of thoughts on how this bill is, in my view, important for small businesses to get at that problem of the creeping weight of Federal overregulation.
I rise today in support of my bill, H.R. 4305, the Destroying Unnecessary, Misaligned, and Prohibitive Red Tape Act, also known as the DUMP Red Tape Act.
Here is the kicker, Mr. Speaker. If this House voted today to stop premiums from exploding, it would pass. It would pass easily. Democrats would vote for it, and I know there is a chunk of Republicans who would vote for it, as well.
I rise in opposition to H.R. 4305, the Destroying Unnecessary, Misaligned, and Prohibitive Red Tape Act, or the DUMP Red Tape Act. While H.R. 4305 is less objectionable than the other anti- regulatory bills, it is simply not necessary.
This legislation fails to address the rights of students to advocate for themselves, and that is why I introduced an amendment to allow for students to collectively bargain.
I rise today in opposition to the bills that are before us and in strong defense of the Department of Education, our students, and kids across America.
I rise in opposition to this bill. Codifying the so-called Red Tape Hotline, an anonymous inbox, the contents of which, as the ranking member articulated, we know virtually nothing about, will do nothing to help small businesses.
