Virginia Foxx said "I do agree with one thing one of our colleagues across the aisle said a few minutes ago. We do need to let the American people know what this House is about to do; kill millions of jobs. The CBO's estimate was that 1.3 million jobs would be lost, minimum. Of those jobs lost, 60 percent would be female workers, 46 percent would be young workers, and 38 percent would have less than a high school diploma. These are the people that our colleagues claim they care about. However, what they want to do here today is harm those very people. So I think it is important that we let the American people understand what this legislation does. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Walberg)." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
