Political Quotes

On the recordJune 30, 2010
Mr. Speaker, congratulations to Coach Ray Tanner and the talented players of the University of South Carolina Gamecocks for winning the College World Series of Baseball at Omaha, Nebraska. When it comes to reducing Washington's out-of-control spending, Republicans continue to put forward ``more ways to save.'' One such proposal is this week's YouCut bill introduced by Congressman Phil Gingrey to save taxpayers $1.2 billion in 10 years by prohibiting taxpayer funding for union activities. Federal employee unions are subsidized by hardworking taxpayers while they engage in lobbying and political activities. This costs the taxpayers over $100 million a year. Americans should be alarmed about a $13 trillion deficit. We should note the images of riots in Greece. What, I ask, will it take for real change to take place here? In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
