Political Quotes

“Friday's job report clearly reminds us that the number one issue remains jobs and the economy. Every day the House majority fights for solutions to grow the economy by advancing an all-of-the-above energy plan, promoting a fair and simpler Tax Code, and making it easier for families and students to afford college. On May 23, the House passed H.R. 1911, the Smarter Solutions for Students Act, a bill based on the President's 2014 budget request that would provide a market-based interest rate for student loans and prevent the scheduled rate hike on July 1. Rather than encouraging the Senate to join the House in this good- faith effort, the President chose politics over students and threatened a veto--for a solution that is based on his own proposal. From student loans to reliable jobs, Americans want a strong economy and a more secure future. We can deliver on this, Madam Speaker, but only if the President starts leading and the Senate stops campaigning, and both start working for the greater good of the American people. ____________________”
