Tim Ryan: “Let us do better. Let us implement some of these ideas that we have. Let us implement some of this innovation agenda…”

“Let us do better. Let us implement some of these ideas that we have. Let us implement some of this innovation agenda where we are going to have broadband in every household, Mr. Delahunt. That will create a whole new class of people that will understand how to benefit from the Internet. Let's have the research and development tax credit that the Democrats have in our innovation agenda. Let's make sure we get the real security going so we can make sure that we have the proper energy process, the proper energy plan for the United States of America. Why is it still going to be energy independent and the United States of America still gambling in this game that we have in the Middle East? It's a big game that we are losing. Everybody is losing. It leads to the war on terrorism. It leads to these tremendous profits at the cost of average people, Mr. Delahunt. It is polluting the environment. We have all kinds of problems because we refuse to say, we want to be a leader in alternative energies in the world. Brazil is doing it, why can't we? Why is there a magnetic levitation train in Shanghai that goes 270 miles an hour and not in the United States, Mr. Delahunt? Quite frankly, I think this President and this Congress has given our generation, the 30-something generation, a pretty raw deal. You know, you think about it, we are going to have more debt. We are going to have a dirtier environment. We have got higher tuition costs.…”
