Political Quotes

“we have heard some pretty stiff language in this House this morning concerning managed care, teenage smoking, taxes. Let us look at the real facts. Managed care can be improved and the Republican Party has a plan to do that. But it is not socialized medicine, that is what the other side wants. Teenage smoking, we have a plan to address teenage smoking. We all agree on that. Yet the other side has a plan also, a $500 billion, $600 billion plan that grows government and is again a very socialistic approach to teenage smoking. Capital gains, we have proven that capital gains increases the revenue to this government. The other side would raise taxes, not lower taxes. The real difference is how to accomplish what is needed for America. The other side believes it is big government, more spending. We believe we have to use our money more wisely, reform government where necessary, and encourage personal responsibility. Those are the answers.”
