Speech #1100086413

Mr. Speaker. listeners should know that. unfortunately. truthfulness is not required on the floor of the House of Representatives under the rules. It is not truthful that somehow we are extending benefits to illegal aliens. That is against the law of the United States. It is statute. It is not truthful that we have enacted the largest tax increase in history. That is the attitude that brought about the bridge collapse in Minnesota. President Bush told us we couldnt have a penny more to invest in the infrastructure of this country. even though we knew the bridges were crumbling. The Democrats had a list of all the insufficient bridges in the country.
