Political Quotes

On the recordDecember 13, 2011
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that the payroll tax cut is one of the most powerful tools that we could use to increase the number of full-time jobs. The other policy option that they supported for stimulating the economy was extending the unemployment benefits. So it's time for our colleagues across the aisle to get with the spirit of this season. Pass the tax cut without the harmful riders; pass the extension of unemployment benefits; and--excuse my Dickens-- stop with all the humbug and let's get forward with helping the economy and helping the American people.
