DEMOCRAT CONGRESS DOESN'T GET IT
(Mr. JORDAN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute.)
Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. Madam Speaker, the Democrat Congress doesn't get
it. We have got terrorists who want to do us harm, and we have yet to
pass the FISA law. We have troops on the battlefield, and we have yet
to pass the supplemental to get them the resources they need to do
their job.
We have got a $10 trillion national debt, and yet the budget that was
passed 3 weeks ago contains record levels of spending and the largest
tax increase in history. Of course, we have got $4 a gallon gasoline
and still no up or down vote on energy, expanding energy exploration.
We need to drill, we need to drill now. It's time to stop talking and
start doing.
