Political Quotes

“the President and the majority have put us on a budgetary equivalent of automatic pilot. No matter what the Nation faces in emergencies, wars and ups and downs of the economic cycle, only tax cuts for the rich remain stable. Denials and delusions have taken over the majority. They now tell us that the Bush tax cuts are the only thing that saved us from a worst economy. That must be magic then, because the tax cuts have not gone into effect, only the rebate has and that ought to be called the Democratic tax cut. This budget cheats each and every other American except wealthy Americans. The only people who have sacrificed for this country since September 10, 2001, were those who died in New York and the Pentagon and those who are now serving as Reservists abroad. Mr. Chairman, we have to show that we can do more than what this administration has done for the last 2 years, which is to give us 2.5 million jobs lost. We must not approve a budget where the only sacred cows are not citizens, seniors or children, but tax cuts for the wealthy. Vote for the Democratic alternative.”
