Political Quotes

“Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong opposition to this Republican budget resolution because it is not a budget. It is a blueprint for American decline. Let's be clear. They want to exploit your labor and your tax dollars and gut your earned benefits all to bankroll tax cuts for their wealthy friends and donors. They want to increase your healthcare costs while Elon Musk and his friends hoard even more wealth, and they have the audacity to call it fiscal responsibility. This proposal will only deepen the constitutional crisis we are already in: a President trying to rule like a dictator and an unelected billionaire using hate and fear to expand his control over our country. Congressional Republicans are pretending this chaos is normal, even as their own constituents call them out for their cowardice. Our government is being hollowed out, our institutions are falling apart, and today House Republicans are slashing programs that people rely on to enact a massive $4.6 trillion tax giveaway to the rich. So I ask my Republican colleagues: Whom will you serve, the people who sent you here or the billionaires trying to buy our democracy? The CHAIR. Members are advised to not only direct their comments to the Chair but to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President.”
