Chairman. on the way over today I was riding in an elevator with another Member of Congress and said. "You are voting for NAFTA. right?" And he said. "Yes." I said. "You are going to vote for a $50 billion new government program that is unfunded?" And he said. "Yes. I am." I said. "How are we going to pay for that? How are we going to pay for the environmental cleanup? How are we going to pay for worker retraining? How are we going to pay for infrastructure? How are we going to pay the $10 billion the Governor of Texas asked for? How are we going to pay for more border security and Customs officials?" He said. "That is your problem. You are in the majority. You worry about it later." True story.
