Political Quotes

“our Republican friends are at it again. Last year they spent the whole year trying to decimate Medicare and Medicaid and hurt our senior citizens, and, thankfully, at least for now, we were able to stop them. This year what do they have in store for America? The largest education cuts in the history of the United States. They would deny our schoolchildren the ability to compete in this global economy. Let us look at what the $3.3 billion in education cuts amount to. Sixty-five million schoolchildren will be affected, basic reading and math skills cut, safe and drug-free schools cut, vocational education cut, adult education cut, title I education cut, the summer youth and employment program eliminated. Not only do the Republicans not want to teach our children, they do not want to give them summer jobs. I guess they think they are better off hanging out on street corners than earning a few dollars to help with their families. This just shows once again the extreme, mean- spirited Republican agenda of sticking it to middle-class families. Last year it was Medicare and Medicaid. Now it is education. What comes next?”
