Political Quotes

On the recordDecember 8, 2011
Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. That's a good reason as to why we should pass this bill. The real cure for unemployment is employment. If we can remove the uncertainty from the marketplace for farmers and for those in other places in this country through limited regulation--good regulation but not by overburdening the businesses and the job creators of this country--then we will have the opportunity to solve that problem, to solve it by hiring people. I am hoping that this bill will pass. In knowing that it probably will pass in the House, I hope the Senate takes it up and the President signs it, and I hope we end up with less regulation in an area where many, many jobs could be created and where certainty could be provided if we would only pass this bill. I reserve the balance of my time.

I look forward to hearing what the Coast Guard is doing to ensure its members... have the buildings, facilities, and IT support they need and deserve.
