Political Quotes

“Before turning this to my friend and colleague from Pennsylvania, I do want to mention just one thing that I understand is in there. There may be things that I am supportive of in there. We don't know. We are trying to figure it out. One thing that I don't understand, with all of the talk about supporting workers and middle-class workers, is that there is a provision in the bill that reads ``prohibit cash or gift cards as employee achievement awards.'' So if somebody works very hard and is getting some kind of achievement award, does that mean he would not be allowed to get a bonus? I mean, I don't know why in the world we would be going after people's employee achievement awards. That doesn't sound like help for the middle class to me. I now yield to my friend from Pennsylvania and thank him for his leadership. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Alexander). The Senator from Pennsylvania.”
