Political Quotes

“Mr. President, all evening we have been pointing out that, with this bill, families lose and billionaires win. That is certainly put onto steroids with this amendment because this amendment would add a quarter trillion dollars directed at the SNAP program. It would add a third of a trillion dollars directed at reducing the viability of student loans, and almost three-quarters of a trillion dollars to devastate Medicaid--programs that families depend on to be able to thrive, to live in the middle class, to pursue opportunity. I encourage everyone, if you don't want to have a bill in which families lose, vote no. Vote on Amendment No. 999 The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question now occurs on the adoption of the amendment.”
