Tim Ryan: “We don't have the money to give, so we have to go out and get it somewhere. We borrow this money from China, OPEC…”

On the recordJuly 12, 2006
We don't have the money to give, so we have to go out and get it somewhere. We borrow this money from China, OPEC countries, Japan, to give to a millionaire so that he can get a Hummer. No American, I can guarantee you, believes that that is a good idea. That can't be a good idea. Because now we owe China money, and we have given the wealthiest people in our society a Hummer, and our kids are left to foot the bill.
