today are getting pink slips from general motors or maybe they already have and are hoping and praying they get a chance at a job in the future. this bill is wrong headed, it's dangerous to the future of this country and we are telling our children, guess what? we are sentencing you to debtors prison and foreign governments will be the jailers. good luck. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from tennessee. mr. lipinski: i reserve my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas. mr. hall: i yield the gentlelady from tennessee, mrs. blackburn, two minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized for two minutes. mrs. blackburn: thank you, mr. speaker. you know, i find it amazing that we are in the middle of debate, a good resolution, we're all for engineers, we like the innovation and the creativity that they bring forward. but mr. speaker, what we are faced with is, is this the appropriate time for this type discussion, or is the time now to try to read through this, let's see, 1rks500 pages we have had laid before us? the spending bill that is masquerading under the title of stimulus when we are told by the congressional budget office that at best, 10% of this bill would be spent this year? we know that stimulus is to be timely, it's to be targeted, but we also know that this bill is going to spend money for 10 years and i will tell you what, it is of great concern to me that our children and our grandchildren are the ones that going to be paying for this. because we are heaping on their head another $1.2 trillion and that doesn't include the interest, another $1.2 trillion of debt. now, i am told that this bill spends per page $1,206,185,569. per page. that is how much is being spent in this legislation. that has not gone through regular order, that has not been debated, all of the programmatic spending that is in here, there's not time for that, we are hearing one of the reasons is because there are co-dells that are leaving at 6:00 on friday. a co-dell is a congressional delegation. i ask for one additional minute. mr. hall: i yield the gentlelady one more minute. mrs. blackburn: because we have to hurry up and get to recess we can't get inside the numbers and figure out what we're going to do with this bill. now some of it we have found out if you're into golf carts there is $300 million for green golf carts. we have also $125 million for sewers in d.c. we have $500 million for nasa exploration activities. we have $2 billion for future jen. we have $75 million for energy efficient visitor centers program. these are all items that may be worthy on standing on their own merit. the problem is this is not a stimulus bill. it is a spending bill. it has become the biggest pork barrel bill that we have ever seen. it is full of special interest earmarks and favors that will go to specific industries. i urge everyone to vote no on this, and i urge us to take our time to debate it. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. the gentleman from tennessee. mr. gordon: i yield two minutes to my friend from oregon. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. blumenauer: i appreciate the gentleman's courtesy in permitting me to speak on this resolution as i appreciate his leadership in these areas. as i listened to my colleague a moment ago conclude her comments, one could be confused a little bit about what we're here. we're here celebrating the engineering profession, but it's interesting in the context of stimuting the economy and rebuilding and renewing america, the role that our
