Political Quotes

“Eight times since 1974, when Congress created the rescissions process, one party has controlled the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives--eight times. It is actually four times Democratic control and four times Republican control. Eight times one party had total control over the elements of the Federal Government necessary to pass legislation. And never before has either party done what Republicans are doing today: pass a partisan rescissions bill, double-crossing the minority party, and canceling spending that just months before both parties shook hands on. Why? Why has this never happened before? Well, because this is just an old-fashioned doublecross. It is a con job. Republicans and Democrats agreed on spending levels--first, in a bipartisan appropriations bill passed in March of 2023, and then again in multiple bipartisan continuing resolutions. That is immoral.”
