Political Quotes

“It's now been 843 days since I arrived in Congress, and the Republican leadership has not allowed a single vote on serious legislation to address our unemployment crisis. At the current rate of job growth, we will not get to pre-recession unemployment levels until after 2020. This means another decade of people losing their health care, losing their homes, and losing their dignity. Where is the outrage? Congress is delaying America's recovery and making their plight worse by pursuing destructive policies like the sequester instead of productive policies like the President's American Jobs Act. The American Jobs Act deserves a vote. Mr. Speaker, the American people are looking to you to address the only deficit that matters right now: our jobs deficit. It's time for a vote on a serious jobs bill. Our mantra here in Congress should be: jobs, jobs, jobs. ____________________”
