On the recordJune 30, 2011
I see we are joined by Senator Coons from Delaware, and I am going to stop, but along that line, just to give people who are here in the Chamber or might be watching some optimism, just 2 weeks ago we took a vote on one subsidy, an ethanol subsidy, and I think it was Senator Coburn and Senator Feinstein who put it on the floor, a Democrat and Republican, and it had like 73 votes. I get in trouble with my kids. It wasn't ``like'' 73 votes, it was 73 votes to end that subsidy. By the way, there were around 40 Democrats and 30-some Republicans who supported that. We need more of that around here. I think it would--if we keep working at it and keep chipping away at it, in the end, we will be able to see common sense will prevail over politics.
