Political Quotes

“I take some delight in listening to my friend from Texas rail about the government not being able to spend money it doesn't have. Yet these Republicans are the people who have been spending money the government didn't have for years, putting a war in Iraq on our children's credit card, putting massive tax cuts in place to benefit a tiny portion of the tax-paying public and ignoring the needs of the vast majority. They have been on a spending binge under the Bush administration and Republican control to fund special interests and 'bridges to nowhere.' We invite anybody to look at the proposals that have been advanced. It is to stimulate the economy, to help stop the economic free-fall in our States, to shore up the problems in States from Michigan to Oregon to Florida, to keep the promises that the President made during the campaign, and most of all, to stop the wasteful spending for special interests and focus it on the taxpayers who need it the most.”
