Political Quotes

On the recordDecember 2, 2015
Well, the Senator raises the right question, but I think it is pretty obvious. If these proposals were debated out in public, where everyone in America could see and hear them, they wouldn't pass. People don't want to line up to vote for fewer restrictions on Wall Street. They do not want to line up to vote for more opportunities to cheat American families. So, instead, the idea is just tack it on something else that is going to move through. Then the question is, Will people vote to keep the government open? And that gives a lot of people in Congress who want to help the big financial institutions a lot of cover, and that is fundamentally wrong.
