“I just want to make one point as you were talking about the oil companies. They have really become, and I do not say this in a derogatory way, they have become dinosaurs, and the Republican majority has just consistently reaffirmed their prehistoric nature because we are in a new economy. We are in a knowledge-based economy. We are in an economy that can figure out how to not use fossil fuels, how to figure out how to use different things. They run the gamut. Let us invest in those things and figure out a way that we are not so dependent on the CEOs who are making $400 million, God bless them, retirement package of $2 million tax break, God bless you, but not at the expense of everyone else. The dinosaur approach no longer works. We cannot have a government that just consistently lives in an age that no longer exists. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Wasserman Schultz), my friend.”
