Political Quotes

“if you follow the U.S. Senate priority agenda, you are realizing at this moment in time, we are in the midst of a national emergency--a national emergency. What would you guess that would be? The war in Iran? Well, certainly, when it cost America 14 lives at least at this point and when you have billions of dollars being spent. I believe the figures--the latest one reported was $29 billion. Is that the national emergency? No. Is the national emergency in the Senate the pending invasion of Cuba? No. How about the President's tariff taxes--tariff taxes that have raised the cost of living across the United States? No, that is not the national emergency. Gasoline prices--would that be a national emergency to the Senate leaders? It was $5.49 a gallon in Chicago last weekend. But that is not it. How about grocery prices, utility prices, rent prices, daycare prices? No, that is not on the Republican agenda as a national emergency. What is on the agenda as far as the Senate is concerned is the billionaire boondoggle ballroom--ballroom. America desperately needs a new ballroom, and they are asking for $1 billion--$1 billion--to build it. I thought the President promised that his golfing friends and business leaders were going to pay for this, not the taxpayers. Well, that has all changed.”
