Political Quotes

This resolution encapsulates what is wrong with the Republican management of this Congress. It is a cartoon that doesn't deal with the underlying issues. They conjure up an imaginary carbon tax when there are real proposals to price carbon before committees in Congress now. Instead of engaging in fantasy, we could have a debate about real legislation that would satisfy their answers and be able to deal with what our responsibilities are in the future. What we are talking about today encapsulates the failure of Republican leadership in this Congress. They can't deal with immigration. They can't deal meaningfully with climate change and carbon pollution. Instead, we are dealing with empty gestures. Mr. Speaker, I strongly suggest we reject this rule and get down to business. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, can I just double-check and inquire of the gentleman whether he has any additional speakers over there?
