Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, on Sunday, the President and House Speaker Boehner met to discuss the impending fiscal cliff. The next day, the President jetted off to Michigan to campaign for tax increases, instead of staying in Washington to work on a possible plan. With a national debt of over $16 trillion, Washington's out-of- control spending is placing our national security at risk. Clearly, spending is the threat, with an increase of 93.5 percent over 10 years and revenues increased only 15.7 percent. Raising taxes on the American economy will destroy jobs. Reports have indicated that raising taxes on the top 2 percent will generate up to $80 billion a year. This amount of money covers less than 10 percent of our Nation's annual deficits. It's my hope that the President will address the fiscal cliff to work with House Republicans to promote small business job growth. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________”
