I fail to understand how the gentleman can come to the well of the House and say that he is proud to be a Republican freshman who is going to impose or try to impose his ideology over the welfare of the general citizenry and at the same time ask us now to override the Presidents veto because people in his district are hurting. because business in his district is hurting. I think I can speak about tourism at least as well as the gentleman from California. having represented the No. 1 tourist destination area in the world for more time in . more legislative venues than anybody in this Congress. When we cannot issue visas. we cannot get people to come to this country. let alone to Hawaii to be able to help with our balance of trade deficit. Tourism is the positive force in that area. and yet someone can come here to the floor and say. "Your people stay out or work. but put my people back to work." and then claim some kind of moral high ground in a political debate about being proud to shut the country down. standing up for the principle of I want mine. but my colleagues do not get theirs? Some people have come into this Congress happy that they have never had any legislative experience. citing that as some kind of virtue.
