“reclaiming my time, can the gentleman say that again because I just want to make sure that the American people and not only the American people, but the Members who represent them on both sides of the aisle understand what is going on. This is unprecedented. This is not something that happened 4 or 5 years ago. This is not something that happened 20 years ago. This is not something that happened 40 years ago. This is not something that happened 200 years ago. This is something that is happening now to this country, the first time in the history of the Republic. So when folks say, well, we have to do this, that we have a war going on and we gave unprecedented tax cuts to millionaires and we had 9/11, you know something? Forty-two Presidents had World War I, World War II, had Vietnam, Korea, the Great Depression. I mean, they had a number of issues thrown in the face of this country that we had to deal with. And now under this Republican majority, under the President we have in office now, we are breaking records. We are not breaking records as it relates to our economy and growth. We are breaking records as it relates to putting this country further in debt and borrowing from foreign countries.”
