On the recordJune 15, 2010
I am not a liberal but a progressive. Sometime we will talk about the difference. Mr. President, I did not vote for the $3 trillion war in Iraq. I did not vote for the hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks. I did not vote for the Medicare Part D Program which drove up the deficit altogether as a matter of fact. I suspect my friend may have voted the other way on all of those issues which were not paid for. In terms of ExxonMobil, let's be clear. I don't know what ExxonMobil told my colleague, but I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Record what ExxonMobil told the Securities and Exchange Commission, the SEC. What is reported by the SEC for 2009 is they received a $156 million refund.
