Elijah Cummings actually said...

"Those who have lost their jobs face truly hard times."

"The key is to make sure that Americans come through this difficult time and come out whole at the end of it."

"Today's Unemployment Report...is an urgent reminder of why decisive and urgent actions are needed to respond to our deepening recession."

"When the American public sees their taxpayer dollars being used for these kinds of trips, they get furious."
