Kendrick Meek: “My colleagues, it is not only what we are saying, it is what is in House Resolution 4241. You can go on line, Members…”

“My colleagues, it is not only what we are saying, it is what is in House Resolution 4241. You can go on line, Members that have not taken a look at that, they can look in the morning, read over it, have staff highlight exactly, verbatim, what we are talking about here. I know the reason why the Rules Committee, Republican majority, closed the rule. I know why they did it. Because on this side of the aisle we will do what we tried to do in the Budget Committee. We will replace the cuts that they made to veterans' services and health care. We will replace that. And guess what? Under the lights and in this Chamber they would have to go up, take my voting card out, they would have to go up to the machines that we have here and actually take out their voting card and put it in the machine and go on the record, on the board, saying that they are willing to cut child support enforcement. I wonder what their State attorneys are going to say and district attorneys are going to say when a single parent, nine times out of ten women, that are going to go into the State attorney's office and prosecutor's office and say, he ran out on me; he left me here with these four kids. I have not seen him and he has not given a dime towards child support. Can you help me? Yes, they will take their information. But you know what they will say? Ma'am, I am sorry, it is going to probably take 3 years because we have a backlog because of our friends in Congress.…”
