Political Quotes

“Mr. Ryan's budget would cause millions of people to lose access to health care and tens of millions more to lose their jobs. My question is simple: Why? I've been here 802 days, and we have not considered a serious jobs bill yet. There are approximately 12 million people unemployed. It's unemployment, not debt, that's at an emergency level. When people lose their jobs, they lose their dignity; they lose their health care and eventually lose their homes. Shame, shame, shame. There is only one responsible way to reduce the deficit--get everyone trained, get everyone working, and get everyone contributing to the tax base. People are hurting. People are suffering. They want opportunities. Mr. Speaker, our mantra should be ``jobs, jobs, jobs.'' ____________________”
