Political Quotes

“It has now been more than 1,000 days since I arrived in Congress, and Republican leaders have still not allowed a single vote on serious legislation to address our unemployment crisis. We have lost millions of jobs through outsourcing and technological changes. We have lost millions of jobs due to the Great Recession. We are losing millions of jobs through sequestration and State budget cuts. And now we have the nerve to shut down the government, risk default, and bring our employees to the gates of hell. Mr. Speaker, open up this government. Raise the debt ceiling, and get us back to dealing with the real crisis: job creation. The mantra of this Congress should be: jobs, jobs, jobs. ____________________”
