Political Quotes

On the recordDecember 14, 2010
I rise to talk about the tax bill that is before us. I was one of just a few on our side who happened to vote against a procedural motion last night, and I wish to talk about why I will be opposing the final passage of this bill. This threat that is facing our country today is greater than any external threat we have faced for some time. It is an internal threat that is stemming from our own government that threatens the very future of our country. In the words of ADM Michael Mullen, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff--this is exactly what he said: The biggest threat we have to our national security is our debt. . . . It's not sustainable. Our country is heading toward fiscal ruin. Nail after nail after nail is being put into our coffin of economic catastrophe. The Senate is now gearing up to put hundreds of billions of more debt onto our already debt-laden country. I fear our country's fate could be sealed.
