Brendan Boyle: “Yes, it is true, a budget is a statement of one's priorities.”

If you don’t want to be here, leave.

This bill truly was Robin Hood in reverse: it is robbing from the poor, taking away their healthcare (and) their food assistance in order to give money to the ultra and mega wealthy.

Over the last 18 months, we have seen where Republicans’ priorities are: trillions of dollars in tax cuts for billionaires, tens of billions of dollars for war and absolutely nothing for the American people.

Ninety-nine percent of the time, when we do things [in Congress], it is of a partisan nature … so besides the history of it, I hope that after this, the spirit of this event will live on.
