On the recordNovember 4, 2015
I think it is relevant that we think for a moment about the Bank. Some of my friends here who press these amendments--which, I would remind you, you should vote against all of them--say that they are not trying to kill the Bank. They are trying to do something. Well, didn't the Bank expire in July? Isn't it no longer able to do new business? Isn't that the definition of dead? By their lack of action, which is inaction, they killed it. Now they say, with their actions, they will resurrect it? Not likely, my friends. Turn all these amendments down. Let's get on with the core business here. Let's fight the fight we fought last week again, and one more time let's give American business an opportunity to compete with the rest of the world. Who knows--we might have to do this three or four more times, but let's keep doing the right thing for American workers. Let's keep doing the right thing for American business. That is all I am asking: just do the right thing and abide by the decision of the House and the majority of the majority.
