Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, today we have a new Trump budget and more broken promises. If you recall on May 7, 2015, the President said: ``I was the first and only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.'' Broken promise number one. His budget cuts Medicaid, it cuts Medicare, it cuts Social Security. In The Washington Post on January 15, 2017, the President said: ``We are going to have insurance for everybody. Much less expensive and much better.'' This broken promise number two is that he cuts $1.4 trillion out of healthcare and covers 24 million less people, jacking up insurance rates for countless others. Broken promise number three to the Farm Bureau at ag.com on April 24, 2017: ``I support a strong safety net for our Nation's farmers.'' Yet he cuts $50 billion over 10 years from farm subsidies, including critical citrus greening research dollars for central Florida, where I represent. Then on September 28, 2016, The Washington Times, he says: ``I will be the greatest President for jobs that God's ever created.'' He is cutting the National Institutes of Health, critical research dollars by $5.8 billion, cutting NASA by $200 million, cutting National Science Foundation by $776 million. We see big talk and broken promises. ____________________”
