“A Senator said yesterday he would let local governments go bankrupt. And while he said that, our local county executive was busy loading food into people's cars. Cars that had toolboxes and work boots in them, and people who were nonetheless hungry. If the Senator has his way, it is these people whose towns will go bankrupt. He talks about the economy. And I asked, ``What happens to an economy where entire towns of firefighters and teachers and others lose their paycheck or their pension?'' We are moving the ball today, but no one should mistake this for a touchdown. The Senator would send our best players off the field. The American people will never accept that, and neither should we.”
