Political Quotes

“I think it is interesting now, and I made this point at a press conference earlier today, now that these reporters themselves are going to be asked to dig into their own pockets and take their tax dollars that are going to go to Mexico to prop up the peso, maybe all of a sudden there would be some interest in the fact that this NAFTA agreement is not working as promised. The other point made just a few moments ago, again I think I have heard no one in my time in Congress who has been a better spokesman on corporate welfare than the distinguished gentleman from Vermont; that is exactly what we are talking about. At a time when we have need for welfare reform, we all agree that the system is flawed, we need to make some changes to it, but we are talking about all of the welfare, 1 percent of the Federal budget. Now here we are talking about untold billions of dollars, not only in the corporate welfare that occurs in this country, but not to go offshore to prop up the peso so that this frivolous investment, this get-rich-quick scheme that pursued the signing of the NAFTA agreement, can be propped up and that they will not have to face the consequences that their investments have led them to, their faulty investments have led them.”
