Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I was sent to Congress in 1993 by the people of the Third District of Georgia with a very specific list of legislative goals. The budget agreement negotiated between the Congress and the President includes many of those goals. With the passage of the Tax Relief Act, we will successfully have achieved many reforms on behalf of all Americans. Mr. Speaker, today's vote is the result of months and months of diligent work in an effort to assemble a budget that the American people deserve. It is the product of a grassroots campaign where input, ideas, and priorities have been gathered not only from Georgia, but from people all across the country. This measure will put in law their priorities, which include balancing the Federal budget, providing tax relief to working families, and creating incentives for people to invest. It returns physical responsibility to Government by balancing the Federal budget just as families must balance their budget. Most important, this bill will leave $94 billion in the private sector, where working people will be able to keep more of their hard-earned dollars and small business owners will have the chance to invest and create jobs.”
