John Kline: “The president has steered the country into uncharted waters.”

Former Chairman John Kline, while recognizing that the overtime threshold should be responsibly reformed, called the administration's drastic move extreme and partisan.

If Congress does not reform the architecture of the multiemployer pension system, then it won't matter how much money we throw at this problem.

Republicans and Democrats have a history of bipartisan cooperation on this issue.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I thank the witnesses for being with us today. Excellent testimony, as we're trying to solve the problem that some of us have been dealing with for a long time.
