                              HEALTH CARE

  (Mr. JORDAN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, it happened last week. Who would 
have thought that in the United States of America, a Federal Government 
pay czar, a Federal Government bureaucrat, would tell a private 
American citizen how much money they can make. But it happened last 
week.
  And now if the majority party has their way, coming soon to you and 
your family, a Federal takeover of health care with all of the taxes 
and all of the bureaucrats getting between you and your family.
  Mr. Speaker, pay czar, car czar, energy czar, a $1.4 trillion 
deficit, sometimes I actually think the other party won't be happy 
until government runs everything. Sometimes I actually think the other 
party won't be happy until they have an IV hooked up to the taxpayer 
wallet and they can hit the drip button every time they want.
  What we need is common sense, what we need is real reform, not more 
government.
