Political Quotes

“Thank you. Let me indicate again, there is a huge difference in view as to how to get us out of the deficit hole. One side, with a set of policies--I am sure they were sincere--a set of policies that said: We will give it to the wealthiest Americans--tax cuts--and then it will trickle down, coupled with 8 years of not paying for things--two wars and a whole series of other things--created red lines down, job loss, so that President Obama came in at losing about 750,000 jobs a month. We have tried a different view. We have said the only way to get out of deficit is to focus on jobs, putting money in the pocket of middle-class families, and growing our way out by focusing on the middle class, working people, the majority of people, small businesses, with manufacturers making things again in this country. We both care about deficits. We have different views about how we got to those deficits, and certainly different views about how to get out of deficit. What we will not support is taking money away from efforts that have begun to get us on a road to recovery. We have a long way to go, but it has begun to get us out of the ditch. We no longer are losing 750,000 jobs every month. We are now gaining jobs. It is not as even as we would like, but we are gaining jobs.”
