On the recordFebruary 4, 2009
A tremendous analogy. And so we have seen what happened in the House of Representatives. The Senate is supposed to be a more thoughtful and deliberative body. But isn't that the place where all of the earmarks come from? And it is politics up there, too, even though the Senators are elected for 6 years as opposed to the 2 years that Representatives are elected for. And we simply cannot afford to cede our constitutional obligations to the Senate with respect to this reinvestment plan.
