Kendrick Meek: “Ms. Wasserman Schultz, we spend so much time talking about the budget, and those are great numbers that you have shared…”

On the recordJune 21, 2006
Ms. Wasserman Schultz, we spend so much time talking about the budget, and those are great numbers that you have shared here. And I see Ranking Member Spratt here on the floor, John Spratt, who has done such an outstanding job on the budget. And as you know, I always hold this chart up about the foreign-owned debt and where we are going and what is being spent. Mr. Ryan spoke to how we are paying more on the debt than we are paying on education, veteran affairs and a couple of other areas, too, homeland security. And I saw Mr. Spratt, and I just couldn't resist, sir. I know that you were here to put in a Record statement, but can you just share, just kind of bring into focus what has happened here and what will continue to happen, if the Republican Congress continue to have their way?
