Political Quotes

On the recordOctober 21, 2015
If you ask the American people, ``Who should be paid first, these guys or these guys?'' I suggest they would agree with us. These guys should get paid first. Oppose this Pay China First Act, and let's keep America first. Let me also add this, Madam Speaker. Have you ever heard of dine and ditch? This is the biggest dine and ditch I have ever heard of. When I was a kid, some of my friends wanted to go to restaurants, eat as much as they could, and then run out before they paid their bill, and I would never let them do that. I felt it was immoral. That is exactly what we are suggesting we do today. Who got stuck paying for that bill? The waitress. Who is the waitress in this case? The American people. The American people, they get stuck when you dine and ditch on them. Even suggesting for a moment that we may not pay our debt and that we may default sends the wrong message to America. It sends the wrong message to the world. Defeat this measure.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I have been hearing a lot from my friends on the other side of the aisle about soul-searching. Now that they have passed a $2 trillion-plus tax plan, my Republican colleagues say they are…
