On the recordSeptember 16, 2014
I just wanted to go on record to say there are thousands of excuses always on everything for reasons not to do things. We are talking about a very specific bill, a very specific vote that would put money in the pockets of 25 million Americans. We could do that right now. People can have lots of reasons. It reminds me a lot of hearing that my kids have hundreds of excuses about why they cannot do something, whether it is because of somebody else or this, that, and the other. I think the American people just want us to get stuff done. We want to get things done. The motion that Senator Warren put forward is about getting things done. A vast majority--58 Senators--has already said yes, they want to move forward. Yes, they will vote yes. We need to get this piece done to help 25 million people and then move on and work with each other across the aisle to do other work. I greatly regret the objection and indicate that we will be back and back and back until we get the American people the relief they need. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The minority whip.
