“Unfortunately, the burden has been the American burden, the American taxpayer. Mr. Speaker, I must say that it is very important. Mr. Ryan was speaking about this whole honest leadership piece, and I think it is important. We know that we have some Members that have made some bad decisions, and we are not going focus on that, and past Members. People make mistakes.
