Political Quotes

“I said to those kids: I will not be on Earth long enough to pay this debt. I said to them: That means that will fall to you. Do you know what I am saying to those kids? I am saying that the quality of their lives will be impacted by the fact that we could not take responsible action to deal with this debt. I would like to say to them: You will not have any more wars. But they will have their own wars to fight. They will have their own pandemics to deal with. They will have their own recessions they have to somehow fund and finance. And they will have their own challenges they will have to deal with. You know what. If we do not start coming to grips with this debt, they will not have the resources to manage their way through those challenges. You see, tonight is not about unemployment insurance. We want to help those people. Tonight is about making the statement that we have to take control of this because it is taking control of the future of those young people. I yield the floor and the remainder of my time to Senator Coburn. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oklahoma.”
