Political Quotes

“Democrats have long called for bipartisan action to stop these devastating sequester cuts because they hurt our middle class and our military. With this agreement the Republican leader just mentioned, we have done just that. Democrats and Republicans have come to a responsible agreement that puts the needs of our Nation above the Republicans' partisan agenda. While this agreement is not perfect, it does address both investment in domestic priorities that benefit the middle class and defense spending. It helps us avoid a major threat to jobs and the general economy. The time to do away with the devastating sequester cuts that are harming our middle class and military is not in the future. It is right now. Democrats hope to end sequestration for the good of our great country. Our work is not done. I hope that we can continue to work together-- Democrats and Republicans--to pass this legislation and place the priorities of the American people ahead of partisan politics. ____________________”
