On the recordJuly 25, 2006
We are borrowing the money from China, Japan, and OPEC countries in order to fund the war and to fund tax cuts that are going predominantly to people who make more than $1 million a year. The average American person, Madam Speaker, does not agree with that policy. They wholly reject that policy because it makes no sense. People in Youngstown, Ohio, work very hard, and they meet their obligations for the Federal Government. They pay their taxes, and to watch the United States Congress, Republican-controlled, take their hard-earned money and build roads and bridges in an elective war, with no plan, no exit strategy, no idea of how to execute it, and take their money and build roads and bridges and hospitals over there. I yield to my friend.
