Political Quotes

“For too many hardworking families, job opportunities are down, medical bills are up, and wages are flat--and people are sick and tired of getting a raw deal from Washington. Let me tell you what a raw deal looks like. I met a homecare nurse who lives near me. She works full time. Her husband works full time, too. All they want to do is give their two kids the best childhood they possibly can. But they can't even afford to take their kids to the movies because tickets and popcorn and soda are just a little too much. When I asked what they do for fun, she said they have cable television. So how are we supposed to explain to a family like this, who can only give their kids the Disney Channel instead of Disney World, that the majority in Congress just gave $3.5 billion in taxpayer funds to the six largest banks on Wall Street? That is a raw deal, and it is wrong. Instead, we should fight every single day to give a better deal, built on a foundation of better jobs, better pay, and a better future for all Americans. ____________________”
