“I thank the gentlewoman very much, Representative Jayapal, for her comments. She brought to our attention the inconsistencies that are in this piece of legislation. Everywhere I go and people talk about this, they say: I don't understand why they want to do that. I don't understand why, with a growing economy and the economy actually moving along pretty well, 4 percent-plus unemployment and growth somewhere in the 3 percent range, why they want to totally turn the American economy upside down in a way that does not create growth. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler), bouncing back across the continent and picking up, once again, in New York. I thank the gentleman for joining me, and I look forward to his words and the wisdom that he brings from Manhattan.”
