Republicans Want a PAT ON THE BACK for SCREWING OVER Working People

Published | Video Starts at 14:50

You guys are not doing a damn thing, and people are getting fed up with it. People are angry. And this kind of proves my point. This is much ado about nothing. We should be bringing substantive legislation to the floor that actually will improve the lives of our rural communities and of our farmers in particular. And that's not what we're doing. So I'm. I'm kind of fed up with all this. I don't have any more patience for resolutions to pat ourselves on the back, pat Congress on the back for basically making people's lives more miserable. (14:50–14:59)
