“Mr. Gottheimer has been a great champion on this issue. I am grateful to him for pointing that out. I know, in the case of my State of New York, in the past 5 years, New York has sent $150 billion more to the Federal Government than they have received back in Federal services or Federal contracts, whereas Mitch McConnell's State in the past 5 years, this same period, they have received $150 billion more in services and contracts than they have put back into the system. The gentleman's advocacy on this issue has been stellar. I am grateful to him for being here tonight.”
