Political Quotes

“Thank you, Mr. Ranking Member. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there is a stark choice to be made, there is no question about it, as I am quoting from the gentleman from California. Mr. Chairman, this is the stark choice. Look at this. This is what you tried to do to the American people after Bill Clinton left office. During his term, 21 million jobs were created. Then the next 8 years when we dropped the tax rate down from 39.6 to 35 percent for those most affluent, we didn't gain anything. In fact, we lost 463,000 jobs. You want to try this again? We are not going to try it again. You want to talk about dead on arrival? Those are your words. This is dead on arrival. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong opposition to this budget. Forget about the trillions of dollars worth of cuts to programs that help people with low or moderate incomes. Forget about the tax increases that hit the middle class and working poor so that some millionaires and billionaires can squeeze a little more from the stone. Forget about repealing ObamaCare for the 56th time, taking affordable health care out of the hands of 16 million Americans, leaving them with nothing and not having the guts to tell them what is going on. Forget about all of that.…”
