On the recordFebruary 10, 2011
What you have just heard is another objection. They object to another short period of time. Let me go through it again. They object to a 4\1/2\ month extension, they object to an 18-month extension, and now they object to an extension through Mother's Day. I do not think it is asking that much to go from here to May 8. I do not think we are helping the economy at a very difficult time when there is objection after objection. But I hope the American people understand what is at stake here in the midst of a still recovering and for some people still--for many people I should say; millions of people--a horrific economic circumstance. Madam President, I yield the floor. ____________________
