Paul Tonko: “Thank you, Representative Dahlkemper, and thank you, Representative Wasserman Schultz, for bringing us together this…”

“Thank you, Representative Dahlkemper, and thank you, Representative Wasserman Schultz, for bringing us together this evening to share the facts and just the facts, which I think is an important bit of exchange and messaging that needs to be done with the American public. And, you know, if you don't believe what you are hearing here, because perhaps you have been swayed by some very gloom-and-doom news info that's been coming your way, take the word from Fortune magazine of April 16 of this year. On April 16, Fortune magazine reported that we have taken a sharp U-turn in the past couple of months and that there are better days for American businesses and workers just around the corner. Well, that's telling it like it is. And why? Because this House, the leadership of this House, the President and his administration, working together, we have enabled a very sharp, laser-type focus on American workers, on working families in this country.”
