Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, listening to my friend from Pennsylvania, I remind him as well as others that the last month of George Bush this country lost 780,000 jobs in 1 month. Okay? Fourteen months later, 15 months later we gained some 400,000 jobs in this country, a swing of 1,100,000 jobs per month. But in the process, down here in the recession after the Bush administration, we lost 8 million jobs. We have a long way to go to put those people back to work. But for Democrats, that's job number one, to continue to add jobs and put people back to work. When President Bush left it was a $1.3 trillion deficit. We know that we have to rein in spending, and we can begin with Iraq, by drawing down those troops and saving this country some real money. Our first job is to put people back to work, and that's what Democrats are going to do. ____________________”
