Thomas Daschle: “Apparently the Senator is right. That is the essence of the problem we have here. It is why we are absolutely paralyzed…”

“Apparently the Senator is right. That is the essence of the problem we have here. It is why we are absolutely paralyzed until we can resolve it. All we are trying to do is have the opportunity to have a good debate about each of these issues. We can debate the TEAM Act. We are not averse to having a good old-fashioned debate about whether you roll back 60 years of labor law. We can debate the gas tax and figure out whether there is a way to address the issue that the Senator from North Dakota and others have raised about making sure the consumer, and not the oil companies, get the benefit.”
