Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the reckless budget proposal released this week by a group of House Republicans. This budget will cut Medicare, make healthcare more expensive, and undo the real progress that we have been making to lower prescription drug prices. It would also cut Social Security benefits and raise the retirement age, forcing hardworking Americans to work even longer. The only winners in this budget plan are the ultra-wealthy and the biggest corporations, who get rewarded with huge tax cuts. This is backward, it is wrong, and it is something I will fight every step of the way. New Hampshire seniors who have paid into Social Security and Medicare need to know that their earned benefits will be there for them when they retire. I remain committed to fighting to strengthen Social Security and Medicare, to lowering the cost of healthcare and prescription drugs for all Americans, and Congress must make this a top priority. ____________________”
