I thank the Representative for his comments. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from the great State of Tennessee (Mr. Rose).
It comes down to this: We are not Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, or Independents in this House. We are truly the American people. It is up to us to fix problems that are bad, even if we started them ourselves. I just hope that all…
