Political Quotes

“in newspapers all across this great Nation today, the headline ran that yet another company had declared bankruptcy. This time it was WorldCom, and this time it was the largest bankruptcy in American history. Just a month ago it was Enron. A little time before that, it was Global Crossing. But in every instance, there was a common pattern, and that is little folks lost everything they owned because the big shots at the top lied to them about how broke their companies were. I say this because I think the same thing is happening with our Nation in that the little folks, the average Joes like the great young marine whom the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Meehan) just told us about who lost his life in training at Camp Lejuene. The folks who serve us in the Coast Guard, the Navy, the Army, the folks who serve us every day, I think they are being cheated because the big shots are lying to them about just how broke this country is and just how broke their policies are making us.”
