Kendrick Meek: “What a great American. As the gentleman knows, we like to put a little humor into this.”

I want to commend the Administration for doing something that we haven't done in a very long time here in Washington, D.C., especially from the executive branch, and that is to share with the American people the truth.

Families that know what it means to punch in and punch out every day, some individuals that are really struggling in rural Florida, they need that tax credit, they need that assistance.

I want to deal with the arguments against doing something, versus not doing anything at all.

The bottom line is, you have your back up against the wall, you have to make a decision, you have to do it now.
