“We don't have to question each other's morality here. We all want to help. Everybody wants to be happy. We are Representatives of the United States, and we are heading into disaster season in the United States of America. Whether it is hurricanes across the South or wildfires in the West, it is coming here. This is about foreign disaster aid, Madam Chair, sending money abroad. We can always do that when there is something that happens. We can come to Congress here, and we can come in and vote for things at that time when they happen. I want to say this, Madam Chair. We want to put our chairman in the best position possible to negotiate. This isn't about questioning our moral objectives party by party, side by side, but we know that there is going to be a negotiation with the Senate. We know that. We want to put this chairman in the best position possible. Nobody here believes that we are going to end up with less than we go in with. You are going to end up with more. That is what happens every single time in this body. Let's put this chairman in the best position possible when he goes in and they say: Oh, my goodness, this isn't going to work. Then he can negotiate from there. Maybe it is not $3.5 billion. Maybe it is $3.4 billion, which isn't a big reduction in Pennsylvania where people can't pay their electricity bills, but it is something. It is a start down the road. I want to put this chairman in the best possible position to negotiate.…”
