Charles Rangel: “We really try hard to improve the quality of life for Americans”

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for calling this hearing.

We recognize your tremendous responsibilities, and we are here for you to point out how we can be more helpful.

I can see how you can disagree with Obama and Democratic majorities, but for God's sake, if you think we are doing it wrong, you should have an alternative to do it right.

it is painful for me to see that this torture continues without coming to a shrieking halt.
