Pete Sessions: “What they are really saying is pretty simple: Don't use this…”

Don't go create something that is good or better, don't find a way to have less emissions; go and tax things. ... I don't know if the gentleman heard or not, but the Bureau of Labor Statistics released new job figures of 110,000 net new jobs in September. September 2007 is the 49th consecutive month of job growth, setting a new record for the longest uninterrupted expansion of the U.S. labor market.
