Political Quotes

I come before my colleagues today as someone who comes from a family that at times did not have health care. I think we can do a much better job, and we should do a much better job, helping people get health care. Like some predicted on both sides of the aisle, they said that the way ObamaCare was crafted it could result in a train wreck. We didn't really know, but now we do know. The facts are out. Everyone has seen the rollout, which was a disaster. Every American should be stunned to see the Congressional Budget Office report today. You should read that: 2.5 million people will lose their jobs. That doesn't even consider the ones who have already been put to part-time status when they are trying to feed their families, make a living, and put gas in the car. Here we have more people losing jobs because of this. Look at this, how many people will see a smaller amount in their paycheck thanks to ObamaCare. This isn't a partisan document. This is something that is put out that has analyzed the impact, and it could be devastating. ____________________

We've got some SBA issues. We've got--and I'm concerned about, too, I've gotten reports of possible fraud in some of the claims for food stamps and assistance, how that's being monitored.
