Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, today we are discussing real issues that have real impacts on real families all across this country, whether in my district of Columbus, Ohio, or in any of the other 434 districts my colleagues represent in this body. Americans want to work. They want to provide for their families and themselves. They want to take responsibility for their decisions. Mr. Speaker, we all know that most of the time when someone loses his or her job it is for reasons beyond their control. As we strive to reach the day when all Americans hold down good jobs, the reality is, as it always has been, some people will be out of work on any given day. So until we reach that day, let us give our friends and neighbors who are unemployed the tools and resources they need to make their own decisions about how best they can find work which suits them. The key here is flexibility, giving the people the power to make choices that best reflect their own situations.”
