Political Quotes

“under the guise of saving Medicare, the majority would make funding cuts that would have the effect of reducing benefits to Medicare recipients--and these funding cuts would be used to fund tax cuts that would primarily benefit the wealthy. This fiscal trickery will not fool the American people. We often hear of class warfare. Well, this majority has just given us generational warfare with its policies that make school children compete for school lunch funding with seniors on fixed incomes, whose Medicare funding in turn must compete with tax cuts for wealthy middle-aged citizens. In this generational warfare the weapons are not missile launches but school lunches, and not stealth bombers but stealth tax cuts. And the greatest irony is that the generation that won World War II is now at risk with generational warfare being waged by this majority. We can do better, and we can do it without pitting the American people against each other.”
