Political Quotes

“is anyone at all surprised that the Democrats have found an excuse to oppose tax cuts this year? The very same Democrats who never once ever thought that billions and billions of dollars in spending were a threat to Social Security, now pretend that tax cuts would be. There are more ironies here. The same party that did not put a dime aside to save Social Security during their 40 year 'reign of error' now act as if they are concerned about raiding the Social Security trust fund. The same party that refused to take Social Security off budget all of these years, in opposition to conservative proposals to create a more honest system, now recognize that the Social Security trust fund can be solvent while providing tax cuts. The same party that has proposed billions and billions of dollars in new spending just this year straight out of the Social Security trust fund, now turn around and claim that tax cuts are a raid on that trust fund. Mr. Speaker, the fact is we can have tax cuts and save the Social Security system at the same time, and we will do that for the American people.”
