Kendrick Meek: “Let me share something very quick, because I want to make sure that Members, staff, everyone understands what is going…”

“Let me share something very quick, because I want to make sure that Members, staff, everyone understands what is going on, Mr. Speaker. The gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ryan) is hitting the nail right on the head, hitting it with the hammer right on the head like a good carpenter. I can tell you what is happening now in Washington, D.C., is unprecedented in history of the United States of America. Let me say it again. What is happening now in the United States as it relates to its governance, I am not saying the everyday Americans, because folks are waking up and going to work every day. Small businesses are going to open their stores to be able to bring about the kind of commerce they need in their local communities. Kids are waking up, going to school to hopefully educate themselves. But as it relates to governance we are falling short. We are robbing, a couple of years ago we could say future generations, I would say we are robbing Americans in the present. So when these kinds of activities that we are talking about taking place under light and under camera, then I am very concerned about what is going on in the back halls of Congress. Now I am going to tell you right now, it is not the Meek report. It is not the Ryan report. It not the Wasserman Schultz report. This is what is happening in our country right now. We have fiscal responsibility used as some sort of whim word or some sort of punchline. It is not being used in a way that it should be used.…”
