Bobby Rush actually said...

"We are headed in the wrong direction. We are headed in a downward spiral."

"I want to thank you, Mr. Chairman and it is a delight to me, once again, on this very key committee in Congress."

"The situation is even more desperate than it was and different than it was in 1995, when the Tax Certificate Program ended."

"I am also disappointed that we are having these kinds of hearings that we have had many, many, many times before."
