Political Quotes

“our Republican friends are continuing their pattern. Now it is an assault on college student loans and financial aid in order to get money to finance tax breaks for the rich. Just the other week we saw them taking school lunches out of the mouths of America's children in order to get money to finance tax breaks for the rich, and now we see them assaulting working people. They would not raise the minimum wage. They want to eliminate OSHA, which protects the standards in the workplace and the safety of American workers, and now they want to repeal Davis-Bacon, which assures construction workers a prevailing fair wage. There is a rally today at 1 p.m. in front of the Capitol to protect the Davis-Bacon Act which will protect construction workers, and I hope my colleagues will attend. Once again we see the same pattern. At least the Republicans are consistent: Assault the middle class, help the rich. Next they will go after Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Medicaid in a block grant? Who is kidding whom? Mr. Speaker, the Republicans just want to cut, cut, cut, cut the middle class and help their wealthy friends.”
