Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 4, 2010
Reclaiming my time, Madam Speaker, I want to say that the motion to concur with the amendment that is made in order under this rule is a very simple one that will bring the bill into compliance with statutory pay-as-you-go rules. It changes very little, as Mr. Oberstar says, with the underlying bill which was intended to create jobs and spur hiring by America's small businesses. Delaying this package of job-creation measures today would delay our ability to get Americans back to work. Time is not on our side, which is why we have to act quickly here today. I reserve the balance of my time.
