McConnell remarks
May 19, 2010 | alternatives, federal legislation, industry | Comments (2)I can’t link to the Minority Leader’s entire speech, but here’s a relevant excerpt:
“As I stand here this morning, the U.S. government is in dire fiscal condition, with the federal debt now about to break $13 trillion for the first time in history, a level that was unthinkable just a few years ago. Meanwhile, Democrats in Washington seem to think there’s some law out there that will somehow prevent us from experiencing the same kind of crisis that’s currently engulfing Europe.
“The fact is, Washington can’t even pay its bills, and yet over the last 16 months it’s taken over banks, insurance companies, car companies, the student loan business, and health care. And now it’s got its sights set on anyone in America who engages in a financial transaction. The arrogance of this approach to governing is astounding.
