Political Quotes

“I have heard from both sides of the aisle the term ``winners and losers.'' Our workers who are laid off because of the deals that have been put before this Congress in the last 15 years are not losers. They are the most productive workers in the world. How dare you call them losers. We are all patting each other on the back here. We are talking about a piece of legislation that is like putting the cart before the horse. We want to prevent people from being laid off--engineers, laborers, technicians. Our trade deals have been a joke. Not one person has come to this floor to explain to us--and I know that is not the bill we are talking about, that has already been deep-sixed in its past--not one person has come to the floor and told us how these jobs are going to be created through trade. We are not antitrade. What we want is fair trade deals. How dare you call our workers losers. {time} 1130 The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is reminded to direct his remarks to the Chair.”
