Mark Souder: “You would at least think they would come out and say they are sorry. "We're sorry that for 40 years we did this." Maybe…”

On the recordOctober 11, 1998
You would at least think they would come out and say they are sorry. "We're sorry that for 40 years we did this." Maybe it would take seven speechwriters to sort through this over time to get the "sorry" part down just right. But how you can come down here and not even say you are sorry and then point at us who have just gotten here, barely 4 years in control, have balanced the budget for the first time, have a surplus actually putting the money over in Social Security and then to point at us just takes an incredible amount. At the very least you should say you are sorry.
