Political Quotes

“most Americans do not think it is extremist to want to reduce the size and power of the Federal Government. In fact after 40 years of Democratic control in which the Federal Government got bigger and bigger, more costly, more out of touch, more meddlesome and less accountable to the people, the majority of Americans finally had had enough in 1994 and they have not looked back since. What has the Republican majority in Congress done since 1995 to reverse course? A Republican-led Congress passed the first balanced budget since 1969 and the first tax cuts in 16 years after it ignored the charges of extremism and warnings that it could not be done. A Republican-led Congress passed welfare reform after years of hearing the other side defend a system that everybody knew was broken, again after ignoring the other side cry 'extremism' at every opportunity. And a Republican-led Congress reformed Medicare for the first time ever, something that should have been done a long time ago, so that our seniors would be able to retire with peace of mind. I think the American people are right. It is not extremist, but responsible good government.”
