Dem Rep. Hank Johnson: "Imagine A World Without Balloons"
REP. HANK JOHNSON (D-Georgia): ...this bill, which shows that this Tea Party Congress will make the tough choice to keep childrens' birthday parties on schedule, and give industries that rely on helium, the lift that they deserve. Imagine, Mr. Speaker, a world without balloons. How can we make sure that the injustice of there being no helium for comedians to get that high-pitched voice that we all hold near and dear to our hearts. Imagine a world without balloons. Today, the House has chosen to just simply float above it all. And finally we're going to do something for the American people, and we're going to pat ourselves on the back for that. Too often lately, this body has sat, deflated, not for lack of hot air, mind you, but seriously, ladies and gentlemen, unlike a Noble element, this House has failed to act on Americans' real concerns.
