Political Quotes

“The best thing for America is to get the stimulus package in place and get Americans back to work. It is the best thing for individual American families. It is the best thing for communities. Some of our communities are really hurting. If they have got some of their largest employers losing 20 to 25 percent of their employees, the whole community feels the pain. Our States are feeling the pain at the State level because of decreased revenues. We are not going to bail our way out of this by more government spending. But if the other body believes that that is the crutch that they want to build it off, we ought to maybe just say, fine, but what we want is we want the tax portions that will stimulate the economy because when we stimulate the economy, we will not need these programs so we may not in effect end up spending that money and we will get back to where we were in terms of before the recession hit and before the war hit, where we will be in a position that we will have a growing economy, people at work, we will lead globally, and we will be back to the position where we were which is paying down public debt and reducing taxes so that we can sustain this growth into the future.”
