Kendrick Meek: “Mr. Ryan, there is a chart which shows the priorities of the majority, and I wish you would share that chart.”

Families that know what it means to punch in and punch out every day, some individuals that are really struggling in rural Florida, they need that tax credit, they need that assistance.

I can see it even going down to almost health care employment discrimination saying, well, if you have a preexisting condition, I don't need you in my group or in my company because you are going to cost us all more.

One of the things I want to bring to the attention of the Committee is that unemployment in Florida is 9.4 percent, and in other parts of the State it's even higher.

I want to deal with the arguments against doing something, versus not doing anything at all.
