Political Quotes

“the thing that disturbs me here, and I think it is a legitimate disturbance, that those in the Senate that would like to help business, those that would like to see that business gets a fair shake, I think applying the laws to the Senate, that we apply to our constituents, was something that was very significant. Now in this language we are saying that we can stick it to business out there as hard as we want to because we cannot get an estimate. But to reverse that and say to the intergovernmental agencies, the communities, the counties, and the States that they are going to be exempt. So we are coming down as a business-oriented climate, I hope, and we are saying that we are going to stick it to business, but we will let Government, intergovernmental agencies, cities, counties, States, et cetera, I just think that this is wrong. If it is fair for Members to say that business--the regulations, et cetera, will be imposed on business, but not imposed upon public operations, then we have a real problem.”
