Kendrick Meek: “Let's say I was to say hypothetically, Mr. Ryan, can I borrow $100? Sure, Kendrick. And I will pay you on Friday…”

“Let's say I was to say hypothetically, Mr. Ryan, can I borrow $100? Sure, Kendrick. And I will pay you on Friday, payday, at the end of the month. And I see you 2 weeks after that payday and I come up to you. You are thinking, hold it, you owe me money when you see me next. You're not thinking about what I want to talk about. Where is my chart on foreign debt held? We love charts here. I can tell you, on the foreign debt held, there are countries like Japan, China, OPEC countries, Mr. Speaker, that we borrow money from. Iran is in that number. So how are we going to be viewed on the world stage and how do we rebound from that? Here is my chart. We keep the chart people in business. China, Japan, leading the pack there. The U.K., the Caribbean, OPEC countries that include Iraq, Iran, Venezuela. You look at Korea, Hong Kong and Germany. Again, Mr. Ryan, how do we look these countries in the eyes and say we want you to do this a certain way when we owe them money? How do we get out of that? We get out of it by passing this budget resolution that we passed today.”
