Charles Rangel: “If we were serious about passing a bill that has been rehashed in this House and no action has been taken upon it…”

“If we were serious about passing a bill that has been rehashed in this House and no action has been taken upon it, common sense and reason would dictate that we would work with the Democrats, work with the Senate, and work with the President to get one passed. This bill transcends over eight or nine different legislative committees, and the ranking member--one who has so much jurisdiction over this issue--would share with the House and the country what parts of this bill she believes would create jobs, if any part. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman from California (Ms. Waters).”
