Political Quotes

“I think my colleague knows darn well the President of the United States has been doing something about this. That is why he used his leadership to make sure that we made major infrastructure investment so we could move products. That is why he has gotten the ports to work 24 hours to move product more expeditiously. That is why he has been focused on all of the infrastructure needs in moving our country forward and continuing to deal with chokepoints, whether they are on the highways, our ports, or our rail system. My colleague knows, too, that the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Commerce--whom I am sure he has talked to--are working very diligently on this. I am sure they are willing to talk to him. There is no secret here. There is the administration and a bipartisan group of people who are working together to try to solve these issues, but there are those on the other side of the aisle, probably those who didn't support the infrastructure investment, who also don't support having people spend the money and make the investments. I am going to yield to my colleagues who are also here to try to move some of these important nominees to make this investment work in the United States. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wisconsin.”
