Political Quotes

On the recordDecember 1, 2017
Mr. President, here we are now at 4:15. We still have not seen this bill--a $10 trillion bill, the biggest tax bill in more than three decades, with changes involving billions and billions of dollars made, apparently, overnight. I have made it clear that when the leader, Senator McConnell, comes back down, we expect to see this bill. We were told essentially an hour ago that we would see this in a matter of minutes. The American people have a right to know that even though the majority wants to make $10 trillion worth of tax policy changes on the fly, this side of the aisle is going to insist on knowing what is in the bill. My colleague has been very patient, and I wish him to be recognized on our time now. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Minnesota.
