Political Quotes

“I have been rising to bring the Senate's attention to an issue which I think is very important. We have had a lot of discussion in this body about the concern for deficits. I share those concerns about how much money we are going to be borrowing in the future. One of the principal reasons for these discussions, particularly from Democratic Members, is their concern that because of these deficits going forward, we cannot give or--let me put it this way--let people in America keep more of their money and provide tax relief, as the President has proposed, to try to stimulate this economy. The President has proposed in the area of $600 billion in tax relief over the next 10 years to try to help put more money into the private sector to help create jobs, secure jobs, and grow this economy. I think that is a very worthy goal. Economic growth is vitally important for all of us in America. It creates job security. It creates new opportunities for advancement. It increases our standard of living. I believe everybody in this Chamber would agree that one of our priorities should be to create more jobs and create a stronger economy.”
