Political Quotes

“I am a fellow who would not be here but for student loans. It was a situation when I was in college that I worked full time. My parents were able to help but just some. In order to get the tuition paid, I had to take out loans. If I had to face some of the challenges that we have heard about tonight, if I had to face immediate repayment, I would not have been able, I would not have been able to succeed and to get through the University of Louisville. What we have here is a situation where maybe some who did have those opportunities... But it seems that there are some of us who want to pull the ladder up behind them. Of course this goes across the whole range of things, whether it is a GI loan that got people their first house or the GI bill that got them through school or other sorts of small government assistance, small assistance that made the difference, because none of us tonight is talking about the government paying the whole way. None of us is talking about throwing money at a problem.”
