On the recordFebruary 4, 2009
Think about the average family, what they saw from their government last week. They saw the United States Senate confirm for Secretary of the Treasury a gentleman who didn't pay his taxes on time. Then they saw from the House of Representatives... the House of Representatives pass a stimulus package that will not do anything to foster and promote economic growth. I mean, that's your government at work, America, certainly not where we need to be. Think about this stimulus package that we've been talking about and what it doesn't mean for promoting economic growth now and what it means, long-term implications for our kids and grandkids and the debt that it preserves. The American people get it. They have figured out that this, quote, stimulus package is not what our country needs at this particular time.
