Political Quotes

“here we go again. Speaker Gingrich has put together his new budget, Medicare cuts, Medicaid cuts in the tens of billions of dollars, cuts in student loans, all to give tax breaks to the richest people in the country. Here we go again, Mr. Speaker. Last year when the Speaker introduced this Gingrich budget, again, tax breaks for the rich paid for by Medicare and Medicaid, student loan cuts. It kept going and going. Finally, they shut down the Government to get their way. The public clearly did not buy what they were saying. The public opposes these Medicare and Medicaid cuts, opposes these student loan cuts to give tax breaks for the rich. Here we go again. The public again is going to have to stand up as we are on this side of the aisle and reject that way of thinking. Let us work together, Mr. Speaker, to get a good budget without the draconian Medicare and Medicaid cuts, without tax breaks for the richest people in society. Balance the budget, move forward on increasing the minimum wage and building middle class wage jobs.”
