Political Quotes

“there is something strange that has been happening here in the Capitol over the last 22 years, something that we have not seen for quite a while. It is a group of politicians who are actually keeping their word. In the fall of 1994, we laid out for the American people our set of promises in the Contract With America that we would balance the Federal budget, that we would reduce taxes, we would solve the problems in Medicare, that we would deal with illegal immigration and reform it, that we would reform welfare. Guess what? All of those things are happening. In 1995 and 1996 we had the most successful Congress in 20 years. Now, with our agreement to balance the Federal budget, to reduce taxes for American families, and to preserve and protect Medicare, we are continuing to keep the promises that we made to the American people. It is something that I am proud of in terms of my colleagues and their commitment to do what they said they would do. We are going to keep our promises.”
