Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I represent many of the people who made the steel that built this country and who still make the steel this country relies on. We are seeing today, unfortunately, corporate executives, egged on by Wall Street, selling off U.S. Steel to a foreign company. U.S. Steel has benefited from strong action in this country: tariffs from President Biden and President Trump, the Inflation Reduction Act, defense spending, the infrastructure bill, and more, while chasing the biggest, fattest bid and blowing off the steelworkers whose work made them rich. Profits matter, don't get me wrong, but other things matter, too: our workers, our jobs, our communities, and this country. We need an economy that reflects that, that says that hard work matters, not just greed. Let's keep fighting for all that. ____________________”
