Virginia Foxx said "Well, I think, again, we're seeing that the House Democrats are proving not only that they've run out of ideas but they've run out of the will to govern. They won't make a budget. They won't deal with these impending tax hikes that we're going to have. I heard you say on the floor a few minutes ago that 40 percent of the reservists are coming back without jobs, and all our friends across the aisle seem to want to do is to get home so they can campaign for their own job instead of doing something to remove the uncertainty that's keeping small businesses from hiring new employees, many of them veterans, many of them reservists coming back. We must do something about these tax hikes that are looming and provide some certainty for small businesses, and I hope you agree with that." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
