Rob Woodall: “I yield myself an additional 30 seconds. This isn't a Republican idea…”

On the recordFebruary 14, 2013

I yield myself an additional 30 seconds. This isn't a Republican idea; it's not a Democrat idea; it's not something that was created in the minds of folks who hate Federal employees and the Federal Government. It's an idea that came directly from the commission appointed by President Barack Obama to solve exactly the kind of fiscal problems that we are facing today. Like it, don't like it, but don't say it's something that it's not, Mr. Speaker. This is an idea from the President's fiscal commission, and we're bringing it to the floor today. I reserve the balance of my time.
