mr. barton: i yield one minute to mr. neugebauer. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. neugebauer: thank you, madam speaker. one of the things we have in texas when we have someone who is pretending to be a cowboy, we say that fellow is all hat and no calt. and a lot of people represent this is an energy bill. this is not an energy bill. it's all tax and no energy. and some of the people were talking about the fact that we're going to make america more energy independent. it does. this bill does not make america more energy independent. we write countries a check for nearly $1 billion. we get to send $15 billion in 2012 to countries so they can plant trees and give us credits. doesn't that make a lot of sense? what this bill is and i think the bill is appropriate, cap and trade. it will cap energy production in america and trade away american jobs. i think the american people are concerned about jobsite now. we have families losing jobs. we have families that are trying to pay their utility costs.

mr. neugebauer: mr. speaker, in texas there's an old saying about the cowboy that was all hat and no cattle. in other words, he was all show and no substance. at a time of economic hardship, mr. speaker, this waxman-markey energy bill is all tax and no energy. this is going to cost every american family $3,100 increasing in their energy cost. farm income is expected to decrease $ billion in the near term and almost $50 billion in the out years. a 57% decrease in farm income over the next 20 years. the trouble with this cap and tax is it's also going to increase the cost of buildings and construction, farm buildings. in a teletown hall meeting last week, mr. speaker, the people in the 19th congressional district said congressman please stop this cap and tax bill. they know this is a plan not to produce more energy, but it's a plan to increase taxes to take more money out of the american families' pockets. mr. speaker, i stand for the american farmers and families and small businesses all across america. i

mr. neugebauer from texas asked, if i presented you with $1,000 and in two weeks you brought back $1 million on that investment, you took $1,000 and turned it into $1 million would it be appropriate for me to pay you $10,000? would that be fair compensation for the return you had given me. go quickly down the rhine -- down the line and then to this question, yes or no? >> i can't answer without knowing more about the circumstances but none of the proposals that anyone here supports, none of the proposals that the government has put together impose this judgment. they involve easier exchange of the government's rules to make decisions or invoke judgment about structure. if you ask me about structure, i will have clear answers. >> the structure, we can do quickly. i only have 5 minutes. >> you would be getting a very good deal for that amount of money. >> so it is fair compensation. >> things could be fair. >> it might not be fair to the agency getting a higher percentage. mr. turner? >> th
