“I thank the Senator. I want to get back to the amendment for a second here since it was objected to. We wonder why we have a single-digit approval rating in Congress. The people out here that I represent aren't Democrats first, they are not Republicans first, they are Americans first. This amendment was objected to by somebody who actually agrees with the amendment. If you are home watching this on TV, you are saying what is going on in Washington, DC? We have an amendment that people agree is going to make this bill better, but yet it is objected to. Why? Is it because there will be one or two more votes for this bill in the end? Is that why? If it is, that is not a good reason. Look, we all live in this country. We all want this country to work. We all want it to continue to be a leader in the world. This amendment makes a good bill better. I want to kick it to the Senator from Ohio for his closing comments on this amendment. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, the Senator from Ohio is recognized.”
