(Ms. FUDGE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)
Rep. Marcia L. Fudge
Today I rise to address the importance of setting our priorities as a Congress.
It seems that some of my colleagues have lost sight of what is important. We should be focused on putting teachers, firefighters, and construction workers back to work; creating jobs by investing in infrastructure; improving America's schools; giving the middle class a tax cut; putting money in the pockets of consumers; helping small businesses thrive and grow; keeping Americans in their homes; committing to our veterans and making sure they can get jobs when they return from duty; protecting Social Security and Medicare; and making sure we are investing in this great Nation so our children have an opportunity to get ahead.
It's time we take a step back and reevaluate our priorities. The American people deserve it.
