On the recordOctober 23, 2015
Yesterday, the American people saw the television spectacle of the Benghazi hearing. In watching my Republican friends on television, it was like watching an ``I Love Lucy'' episode--the same plot, the same characters, the same script, and nothing new. Here is what the American people did not see yesterday from the majority in this Congress: They didn't see a hearing to create jobs. They didn't hear an idea to increase incomes. They didn't hear one single solution to reduce the cost of education. The American people want Republicans to spend their time increasing incomes and less time trying to take down Hillary Clinton. We are tired of this calendar of chaos, Mr. Speaker. It is time for action. It is time for negotiation. It is time for compromise. It is time to stop wasting time and tax dollars. ____________________
