On the recordMarch 29, 2022
I think we should mark this down, March 29, 2022, the day that the people who were elected and came to represent our folks back home actually got together and did something on the House floor that was good for everybody in America. We are not firing bullets back and forth at each other. We are saying: Do you know what? Isn't it great, when we work together, what we can get done. Mr. Kind and I were walking over together, and he said: Mike, I am really happy this happened because there is a lot in there that we both worked on, and it looks like it is going to put a little more gold in our retirees' pockets when they hit their golden years. But this is one thing the press will never cover. They will never say: My God, these Republicans and Democrats got together for American workers to make sure that they go into retirement and lay their heads on pillows at night and sleep because they know they have enough to get through the rest of their lives. What a moment. What a moment. I have to tell you, I am so proud to be a part of this. I thank Mr. Brady and Mr. Neal. For both sides of the aisle, why don't we use this as an example as we move forward as to what the heck we are supposed to do for the people who sent us here to represent them? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
