                   UNACCEPTABLE GROWTH OF GOVERNMENT

  (Mr. KLINE of Minnesota asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

  Mr. KLINE of Minnesota. Madam Speaker, we have been talking all day 
about this bill that is that 2,700-page Senate bill, this bill that 
increases bureaucracies and bureaucrats and gives more government power 
and more government control. We know the American people don't like it, 
and we are speaking against it.
  But that is not bad enough. At the same time, using this convoluted 
parliamentary procedure, our Democratic colleagues want to have the 
government take over the student lending business, build up bigger 
bureaucracy, wipe out 30,000 private sector jobs, make the Department 
of Education one of the largest banks in the country lending $100 
billion a year of money that we don't have, money that we have to 
borrow from China before we can lend it to students.
  So whether it is health care or it is student lending, we are 
watching a massive growth of government power, size, and spending, and 
I deem that unacceptable.
