Pete Sessions: “I completely understand where the Democrats are coming from. They completely understand where we are coming from. We…”

“I completely understand where the Democrats are coming from. They completely understand where we are coming from. We would like an agenda that is going to help taxpayers. We want an agenda that will help investors. We want an agenda that will help this country to come back from the problems that it has had. But the bottom line is the consensus that these bills have represented, including just one of these bills, got 308 votes. It is a consensus about doing something that will work. I understand how difficult it is to beat up the status quo, just beat it up. But the answers that the other side has, just like when they present their budget, it does not even come close to passing. The measures that they have time after time do not come close. But the provisions that we have put on the floor have virtually bipartisan agreement with over 308 people who vote for it. These are the ideas that we bring back to the floor today. The ones that have received over 300 votes of this body, the votes that make a difference, the ideas that make sense.”
