Political Quotes

“I am truly shocked by the gentleman from Virginia's remarks about calling this resolution an innocuous resolution. I think it gets to the crux of the matter of why we wanted to bring this resolution to the floor, to highlight to the American people something that obviously the Democrats think is insignificant, innocuous, does not mean anything, that the American family today started on July 4 working for itself. That is what this resolution is about. They know that. They are trying to cover it up. For 40 years they have built the Federal Government to such a huge size and taking money from the American family that now we work until July 3 for the Federal Government and start on July 4 working for ourselves. No one is talking about their bad regulations. What we are talking about is rushing to regulations, rushing to judgment without cost-benefit analysis and taking a commonsense approach to regulations. USA Today newspaper yesterday was talking about the number of kids that had been killed by airbags, airbags, rushed to put into cars without the kind of commonsense, thoughtful regulations that may have created an airbag system in cars that would not have killed those kids. So I rise in support of this resolution.”
