Political Quotes

“In the time allotted to the Judiciary Committee, Judge Poe, if he is still here, has raised two specific grievances about overregulation diminishing job opportunity. One was on the 1099 form, which I am going to examine more carefully; and the other was about the fact that the Health Care Reform Act frequently, derogatorily, is referred to as the ObamaCare Act, but which I call the ObamaCare Act because I think it's going to go down in history as a major accomplishment of the President's within the first 2 years of his office. He said it would cost 800,000 jobs. I would like to ask him or anyone in the House for any evidence that there is an 800,000 jobs expense. The health care bill that both sides refer to as ObamaCare now creates jobs because we're adding many more people to the health care system, which, ladies and gentlemen, is going to require more doctors, more nurses, more clinics, more hospitals. How on Earth can we expand the provisions of health care, which incidentally should apply to every American in this country, and then say that it's going to reduce the number of jobs? I think that logic defies explanation, but I would yield to anybody who would like to explain it to me.”
