Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, my Republican colleagues are singing the same old tune again. This past Sunday on ``Meet the Press,'' the Republicans top campaign leader let the truth be known. If the Republicans take power in Congress, he said, ``We need to go back to the exact same agenda.'' The exact same agenda. The one that lost 8 million manufacturing jobs in this country, the one that tried to privatize Social Security, the one that drove our country into a ditch. Yep, that same agenda. What does privatization of Social Security really mean? It means taking your money and letting Wall Street play with it. We saw how well that worked over the past few years when the Republicans controlled this House. Private retirement accounts lost one-third of their value during the Republican recession. Heads they win, tails you lose. But the Republicans don't learn from their mistakes; so they want to return to the exact same agenda of the Bush Republican years. America, make sure Congress knows Social Security is your money. You earned it. You paid for it. It is your future. ____________________”
