Political Quotes

“In December and again in May, this House passed legislation to extend a popular set of expiring tax provisions providing billions of dollars in relief to millions of American families. That tax bill passed the House and has been stymied in the other body where only two Republican Senators have stood up against their party's own filibuster against these tax cuts. Let me tell you who's suffering in the meantime: 42,000 families in Kentucky cannot deduct $108 million in college tuition fees; 86,000 families in Arizona cannot deduct $166 million in tuition fees; 304,000 families in Texas cannot deduct $708 million in college tuition fees. Nationwide, more than 4 million families cannot deduct $10.5 billion in college expenses. A college degree means a better job for your kid. I urge our colleagues on the other side of the aisle to contact their Senators and tell them that Tax Extenders means jobs.”
