Kendrick Meek: “Somebody needs to be embarrassed? Somebody needs to be fired. Embarrassed? Oh, please. They are just following the lead…”

“Somebody needs to be embarrassed? Somebody needs to be fired. Embarrassed? Oh, please. They are just following the lead of the Republican majority. If I was an agency department head or secretary or someone confirmed by the Senate, I mean, when I look at my chart here, when I look at $1.05 trillion in borrowing from foreign nations, dethroning 42 Presidents, 224 years of history where they only borrowed $1.01 trillion, how in the world could I rein in a department head where I have endorsed this, in the trillions of dollars, $1.05 trillion in 4 years alone. It is almost like me calling my children into the room and to say: You're doing the wrong thing. You're eating at 11 o'clock at night. You're going to get heavy. You're going to get sick. They say: Well, Dad, look at you. You have eight gallons of ice cream sitting right in front of you. How can you talk to me about not eating at 11 o'clock at night and eating too much sugar? How in the world can the Republican Congress go to these department heads who can't find $24 million that are missing in their agency and they have borrowed, here in this Congress, $1.05 trillion, record breaking, from foreign nations. I am not going to even spend time taking the stuff off because I wish I had time to deal with it but I don't. The bottom line is these are the countries that own a part of the American apple pie because of the mismanagement of the Republican majority. That is the bottom line. You see the countries.…”
