REPUBLICAN PRIORITIES
(Mr. LIEU asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. LIEU. Mr. Speaker, when Democrats were in the majority, we passed
a bipartisan law to rebuild our roads, bridges, and highways. We passed
a bipartisan law to make sure that our schools remained open. We passed
a bipartisan law to bring manufacturing back to the United States, and
we passed a bipartisan law to help our Nation's veterans. Unemployment
is now at the lowest rate in over 50 years.
Republicans gained control of the majority last month. What is one of
the first things that they did? They held a hearing on Twitter.
Let me repeat that again. House Republicans used the awesome power of
the Federal Government, the committee staff resources, and the time and
attention of their Members to hold a congressional hearing about
Twitter.
