On the recordJune 6, 2012

I would just like to associate myself with the gentleman's remarks. I feel these programs are very important and that there have been major cuts made in the last 2 years, as I understand it, and that this would just be another major cut on top of this. To my friend from Georgia, austerity isn't helping England, it isn't helping France, it isn't helping Greece, and it's not going to help the United States. We need the recovery here at home. That's what we need-- not mindless cutting and slashing of the budget that will throw people out of work and not create jobs for the American people. Austerity has failed. I think it's time for the majority to wake up and recognize that.
