Well, Mr. Speaker, it is wonderful to be with the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ryan) and the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Wasserman Schultz) again. It is wonderful being with you all once again. We would like to thank the Democratic leadership, mainly the Democratic leader, the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), for allowing us to be here. ____________________

The bottom line is, you have your back up against the wall, you have to make a decision, you have to do it now.
When you run into these kinds of situations, and folks start saying, 'Well, I'm more loyal to my own personal principle,' meanwhile, they're not maxed out on their credit cards, they're not waiting in line for a job.
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.
