Political Quotes

“there are a lot of things I agree with the gentlewoman from Ohio about. We have hardworking people. Whether they are in Harrisburg or in Ohio, they are working-class people. I am one of them, having spent most of my life turning wrenches, laying in ditches, and things like that. We know how to work in Pennsylvania. Where we agree, apparently, but we can't say, is that the Federal Government broke it, shipping our jobs overseas, not only in the gentlewoman's communities but in my communities. Of course, the Federal Government did that with our tax dollars. Then the Federal Government is going to come back in after they broke it and use our tax dollars to tell us that they are fixing it. What I am saying is that these programs are being done by other Federal agencies. We don't need yet another one on top of them to take our money and have it sit in some account. Oh, by the way, when the gentlewoman says that no one has been appointed by the executive branch, this thing was started years ago while somebody else was in the executive branch and didn't appoint anybody. Please don't lecture me on how Donald Trump isn't appointing someone to this when President Biden had the opportunity and somebody could have autopenned it but couldn't be bothered. Mr. Chair, we need to support this amendment. I urge passage, and I yield back the balance of my time.”
