Jack Kingston: “I thank the gentleman. As I sit here, I am reminded of the story we have all heard about the guy who goes on the $100…”

“I thank the gentleman. As I sit here, I am reminded of the story we have all heard about the guy who goes on the $100 cruise. He sees an advertisement for a $100 cruise. Like all of us, especially a guy like me, I have never been on a cruise, he goes down to the dock real excited about it and he gives the man $100. The man pulls out a two-by-four, hits him over the head, puts him on an inner tube and pushes him into the water. And he is cruising along. After a while he wakes up. He bumps into another guy with an inner tube and he is rubbing his head. Finally, the first guy says to the other guy, 'Hey, do they serve drinks on this cruise?' And the second guy says, 'Well, they didn't last year.' Now, the point is, how vulnerable could you be to do this twice? How vulnerable would these students be to believe what they are hearing about an interest rate that, it is true, it does go to 3.4. It dips down to 3.4, and then it springs back up. I only wish the stock that I owned in whatever my savings account is would dip down like that and then go immediately back up the way the Democrat Party is. But this bill had no hearings. A broken promise right off the bat. We would have hearings, we would have amendments. There are no amendments, there are no hearings. What happens when you have no hearings and no amendments? You can get to only what can be called the tuna fish clause. We know what the tuna fish clause is.…”
