“I hope the other side of the aisle listened to that prayer carefully because I think what we need today is people to open their hearts with love and kindness, thinking about the American economy and our citizens and their 401(k)s and their futures. Rather than pointing fingers at the President and Vice President Cheney, let us work together to solve the problem. On April 24, we sent over a bill to the other Chamber that passed 334 to 90; 119 Democrats voted for it. It is about accountability. It is about establishing a good audit committee. It is about peer review and oversight to ensure corporations factually report their numbers, but it has languished because the majority leader does not have time for the important bills that face this Nation, and he happens to be a Democrat. Wake up, smell the coffee, get that bill passed, and we will restore moral order.”
