Political Quotes

“twenty-two million new jobs, the beginning of an economic recession. Lifting 4.3 million families out of poverty, the beginning of an economic recession. Reduction of uninsured in this country from 44 million to 38 million, the beginning of our economic recession? There is a rampant case of an inversion in the world. To the people that had those jobs, more people going to college, more people not in poverty, more people with health care, and the gentleman says that is the beginning of the recession? I could have sworn in the 1990s when I was around, all the Republicans talked about was that it had nothing to do with Bill Clinton; it had everything to do with Ronald Reagan's boom from the 1980s. Maybe the gentleman needs a rendezvous with history here and a rendezvous with his record. He is right, we raised taxes on the wealthiest and we cut them on working families, and we reduced the deficit and had a balanced budget. I would recommend that the gentleman take a rendezvous with that record of what a balanced budget would look like, since his colleagues have done a great job of adding $3 trillion to the Nation's debt.”
