Political Quotes

“I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry). The fact of the matter is that the majority, last year, when they were in the minority, voted along party lines to not provide funds to take care of children in the Labor-HHS bill in committee. Every single member voted against it in committee, of the now-majority, then- minority. So I guess what is good for the goose is not good for the gander. But we did take votes this year on a motion to recommit, on an amendment in committee this week, and a majority of the majority voted to not fund care for the children. That is where we are going to run out of money. The President, to his credit, has asked and said: Please send money. Please send money to fund the care for these children and to stop the flow of drugs across the border. Madam Chair, 144 pounds of fentanyl. We have to stop that. Yes, certainly, it is important to do these screenings, and I thank the gentlewoman for offering the amendment, but we have got to go much further than that. And again, Madam Chair, it is still early in the morning. We are ready. Bring the supplemental bill to the floor. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.”
