Political Quotes

“The farmers are an important constituency. They have broad-based support. So that is on this bill. That is it; the bill as it came out of Finance, the bill as it came out of Small Business with those two amendments--one put in by the leader on the request of Democrats and Republicans, another one added by a public vote, by the Members of this body. This is a very good bill. I do not understand why we cannot have eight or five or three. But I want the small business community out there to know, they need to fight for this bill in its current form. We can have a debate on nuclear policy on an energy bill. We can have a debate on tax extenders on the extenders bill. We can have a debate on Tax Code changes on a finance bill. But this is a very bipartisan, strongly supported, broad-based small business bill that is going to affect every Member in a positive way.”
