David Schweikert: “It shows you how fast you can talk if you have been just sucking down coffee all day, Mr. Speaker. I should throw this…”

“It shows you how fast you can talk if you have been just sucking down coffee all day, Mr. Speaker. I should throw this out: I have had the pleasure of sitting there when I have someone on the other side, and I know it is sometimes like fingernails on a chalkboard, and you are a good guy to tolerate because I am frustrated. I am frustrated that this body is not living up to what we are capable of. There are lots of reasons and lots of excuses. But, please, to anyone here, no more going behind the microphone and saying: but it is all paid for. The math up to this point of just what has been passed--this isn't what has been proposed, what is proposed is off the chart--just what has been passed, the left has functionally increased the deficit by $2\1/2\ trillion dollars. That is actually using the much more favorable CBO scoring. So no more pretending and saying everything is paid for. It is not. All I'm trying to do here is a simple point: judge us as conservatives and Republicans by what we did policywise in 2017, `18, and `19 and the good it was for the country. It was good for everyone across the board. And then take a look at particularly the last 15 months. I beg of my Democratic colleagues: reach back, figure out what we did that worked, steal the ideas and call them your own. But the country deserves so much better than what they are getting from this body today. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________”
