Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I would like to reiterate once again that there were a lot of people involved in bringing this legislation to the floor. It would not have happened except for the persistence and commitment of Mr. Rush of Illinois. So I want to thank him again. I also want to say that every Member of Congress comes to this floor, and we talk about regulations and the impact they have on creating jobs. We talk about uncertainty in tax policies, and we talk about the ability of America to be competitive in the global workplace. We talk about a lot of macro issues. But for men and women out there in the country, like coal miners who are losing jobs because of the policies of this administration, veterans who have extensive leadership skills but can't find good jobs, and minorities who are not trained in the right way, this legislation goes a long way in providing the training that people need to find a good job. I urge all Members to support this legislation. I want to thank everyone who worked for it. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. {time} 1630 The SPEAKER pro tempore.
