Political Quotes

“I oppose the gentleman's amendment, and Senate Democrats will keep this Chamber on time. There are three important reasons to vote against this amendment. First, it would be an even bigger Republican handout to wealthy tax cheats--nearly $200 billion. Second, at a time when Congress is supposed to be debating fiscal responsibility, this amendment double counts billions and billions of dollars by increasing the deficit with more spending on defense contractors and bigger handouts to wealthy tax cheats. Finally, this Senate should focus on better service to taxpayers, improved information technology, and ending the free ride once and for all for wealthy tax cheats. I urge colleagues to oppose the amendment. Vote on Amendment No. 125 The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The question is on agreeing to the amendment.”
