Political Quotes

“I didn't think I'd have to take to the floor again; but now that the House Republicans have walked away from the American people, it bears notice. There are 160 million American people across this country who are going to see their taxes go up come January 1. There are 2.3 million Americans, including 46,000 of them in my home State of Maryland, who will not get an unemployment check. There are 48 million Americans, mostly our seniors, who are going to see their benefits essentially ripped out from under them in Medicare as their doctors won't be able to treat them because their doctors are getting a cut. I'm not really sure which Christmas House Republicans are celebrating, but in my house it's a Christmas of charity and of goodness. I am so saddened that here in this House we have ripped out from under the Christmas tree the Christmas for millions of American families who will not get to go into the New Year with a tax cut and who will go into the New Year without an unemployment check. The House Republicans have done a great disservice to this country. ____________________”
