Political Quotes

“We have to go across the board. If we are going to compete against our foreign competitors, and that is who is out there today. Because when we look at a lot of these regulations that are coming down on businesses, you look at the corporate tax rate and you look at what has happened here with health care, we have seen these numbers coming out today of what is going to happen on the health care side.

When you are looking at losing 300 jobs or 400 jobs or 600 jobs, that is totally unacceptable.”
