“Mr. President, everyday, millions of Americans get up, they have their breakfast, they pack their lunches, they send their kids off to school. In many households, over a majority, both spouses work. These are the forgotten Americans, the people who go to work every day. They are working harder and harder and taking home less and less money. Nobody is talking on this bill about that portion of America. That is the America we should be concerned about. So I use that to remind all of my colleagues, Republicans and Democrats, that we are about to vote to create a new subsidy program, a corporate welfare subsidy program. I say to my Democratic colleagues-- all of them--how many times do I hear you say that we should end corporate welfare? This is an opportunity to do that, by not voting for this bill and creating a new welfare program. I say to my Republican colleagues...you have an opportunity to have one less corporate welfare program on the books by not voting for this bill.”
