Political Quotes

“the Republican Congress is about to slash nearly $50 billion from investments in our children's future, in health care and education. Yet because of Republican priorities, they are going to actually add $20 billion to the $3 trillion in our deficit. Only in a Republican Congress. What kind of Congress passes a budget that cuts $9.5 billion from children's health care, affecting 6 million children, while overpaying HMOs by $5.4 billion? What kind of Congress hands out $16.5 billion to oil and gas companies, while cutting 40,000 children's nutrition programs and seniors from home heating assistance? What kind of Congress cuts 330,000 children from child care assistance, while giving special tax breaks to bow and arrow manufacturers, NASCAR track owners, and logging companies? What kind of Congress cuts $14.5 billion from student college assistance, the largest cut ever, while cutting taxes for millionaires? A Republican Congress, but of course. Those are the wrong priorities for America. Americans know. Mr. Speaker, we should cut spending, but we should not do it by throwing our children under the bus. America can do better. It is time for a change. ____________________”
