Political Quotes

On the recordApril 6, 2011
Here is a formula for the collapse of both our economy and our democracy: increase spending for the Pentagon by $7 billion and ensure its budget for the rest of the fiscal year. Everything else gets cut $13 billion and gets a budget for just 1 week. Money for war in Iraq, war in Afghanistan, war over Pakistan, war in Libya--so many wars going on at the same time you could rename our town ``Warshington.'' Money for bombs; no money for books. Money for missiles; no money for new moms. Money for jet fighters; no money for crime fighters. Money for an empire that is as broad as our fears; no money for an America that is as large as our hopes. Just money for unnecessary wars. We don't want apocalypse now; we want peace now. We want jobs now. We want prosperity now. And we want the leadership to provide it now. ____________________
