I am a little puzzled about why, when we come to a good conclusion and we stand up and compliment the Democratic members and the majority leader for a good job and adopt the provision, when we compliment the recommendations of Speaker Pelosi, a great friend of the Senator from California and someone I admire greatly for her work on this stimulus package, why she feels it necessary to stand up and begin to make a political speech about Republicans saying no. Republicans have said yes. Democrats have said yes. We are saying it to the country.
