Political Quotes

“The choice in today's discussion, debate, and vote is very clear. It is a choice between the future and the past. It is a choice between failed policies that took this Nation to the brink of financial ruin and forward-looking policies that can restore America to its rightful position. It is a choice between what is good for a few in America or what is best for all of America. It is a choice which we must prudently and carefully make. At issue is the destiny of this country and its people. For 12 years, we increased military spending, gave tax cuts to the wealthy, and caused a dramatic shift in resources from the hands of many to the hands of a few. During that 12-year period, the deficit grew, while investment in human needs fell sharply. We are now in a period when it is time for investment to go up and for the deficit to go down. The President is committed to that goal.”
