Political Quotes

“I can understand why the gentleman from Colorado might be reluctant to yield to the gentleman from Michigan only because we have talked about the oasis in the west, but Michigan in many respects is the oasis of the Midwest. Under our governor, the State I believe since 1990 has had 24 tax cuts. We have moved from a point where our structural unemployment was higher than the national average for a number of years. It was structural. It was said that Michigan's unemployment rate cannot get below the national average. I think now for the last 2 or 3 years our unemployment rate has been below the national average. Surprisingly, but not really because we have implemented the same strategies, tax cuts, aggressive business promotion, Michigan last year led the Nation in terms of job creation. So, again, by returning power at the State level, we have returned it back to families, to businesses to grow jobs. That helps everybody. That benefits everybody.”
