Scott Walker: “I thank Representative Costello. His hard work on the Veterans' Affairs Committee is duly noted. Mr. Speaker…”

“I thank Representative Costello. His hard work on the Veterans' Affairs Committee is duly noted. Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, these bills are not making it to the President's desk. We are tired of the argument that the President will most likely veto these legislative bills or of the filibustering that we hear about sometimes in the Senate. We hear the word ``reconciliation'' a great deal. Reconciliation is a simple majority vote. Fifty-one votes in the Senate is what is needed to get it to the President's desk under reconciliation. If we think back, this is how Harry Reid shoved ObamaCare into the culture and fabric of the American people--by reconciliation, by a simple majority. In fact, it has been Mr. Reid who has blocked, filibustered, and sat on legislation to protect the President. That is why the American people elected Republican majorities in the House and the Senate. It was to clean up Washington and to stand against President Obama's far-left agenda. One of the ladies I have been able to meet who has worked hard and who has been a voice is a nurse, a small-business woman, and a former educator. I specifically like the nurse part, being married to one for 23 years. She is the middle daughter of working class, Great Depression-era parents. Having had 40 years of experience in working in the healthcare field, she is uniquely positioned as a credible and effective leader on healthcare policy in Congress.…”
