Political Quotes

“Mr. President, reserving the right to object, you know, my colleagues keep talking about the infrastructure bill. The difference between their infrastructure bill and what we did while I was Governor of Florida is this: I actually spent our infrastructure money on roads, bridges, airports, and seaports, and, at the same time, we spent $85 billion in 8 years in one State doing that. We also cut taxes and fees 100 times, and we actually reduced our debt by a third, over $10 billion. The infrastructure bill--the so-called infrastructure bill--had less than 50 percent of it in infrastructure. People said it was paid for, and it wasn't. So I am glad people want to keep saying that it is a so-called infrastructure bill, but let's remember: It wasn't paid for; they said it was. And it wasn't all for roads, bridges, airports, and seaports, which is what they said it was in the beginning. So, therefore, I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The Senator from Montana.”
