Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, they cradled us in our arms when we were babies, picked us off the ground when we scraped our knees, worked long hours to send us to college, and embraced us with unconditional love. I am talking about our parents and our grandparents. That is why, Mr. Speaker, I am distraught with tears in my heart because of the Republican budget--slashing Medicaid by billions and cutting critical funding for our neediest seniors in nursing homes. When our grannies and gramps are at their weakest, their oldest, their loneliest, the Republican Ryan budget puts them in a wheelchair and throws them off a cliff. That is wrong, Mr. Speaker. I say ``no'' to this budget. We can do much better. ____________________”
