Political Quotes

“Thank you so much for your question. You have laid out so many points here about kind of the mismanagement of America's funds, and we could add a few more to them: the craziness of spending more money than it costs to buy a Presidential jet--to rehab a jet that was given to the President so that he could actually send it on to his personal library after he leaves office. It is profoundly disturbing, and I appreciate the way you framed it. There is enough money for luxury glitz--for a megaballroom. I can't even imagine how anything could cost that much to build. Maybe there will be an eighth-inch of gold on every surface or something--I don't know--but that doesn't serve the American people. It doesn't make one single person in America have better healthcare or a better education or a decent home in a decent community or a better job. It doesn't give you quality of opportunity. It doesn't tackle any of the environmental issues. It is simply a gross display by the President, who has constructed his entire administration on the basis of a theory to govern, which is 'families lose, and billionaires win.' Families lose their healthcare so there can be massive tax breaks for billionaires. They lose their Medicaid on top of their ACA healthcare in order to fund massive tax breaks for billionaires. They lose their nutrition assistance to fund tax breaks for billionaires.”
