Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 24, 1996
the President said a lot of the right things last night. He says the era of big government is over. He says that he now understands that working families are overtaxed. And he even implies that he is now willing to sign the welfare reform, balanced budget, and tax cut measures that he has vetoed over the last few months. Good news, if he means it, very good news. If the President now means it and he will support tax cuts for working families rather than demagoging about mythical tax cuts for the rich, that is very good news. If the President now means it that people in Cincinnati should be able to keep more of their own money, rather than seeing it wasted by high flying bureaucrats like Hazel O'Leary, that is good news. In short, Mr. Speaker, if the President now wants to work together for tax relief and for an end to big government ripoffs--then I am with him all the way. It is great to see that the President is now a fan of the Contract With America. I just hope that he realizes that we need action and not just talk.
