Regular order is means that you vote for 12 individual appropriations bills separately. And we did this 20 years ago. And that's why we had a balanced budget over the course of the past 20 years. When John Cornyn first got elected to office in the early 2000s, our deficit was less than $200 billion. And now it is 37.8 trillion, $38.7 trillion today. And he sat by and did nothing about it. And why is that? We replaced regular order, where you would send the appropriations bills down to each committee. (19:04–19:19)
