Political Quotes

“the Democratic leadership just released two reports that make clear just how much damage the Republican budget will do to the African American and Hispanic communities, as well as to children. This budget fails to deliver $12 billion in proposed funding for education. If the President really meant that no child would be left behind, why are 3 million children not getting the help in reading and math that they deserve? The budget fails to make health care accessible. With more than 20 million African Americans and Hispanics without health insurance, the Bush budget offers health care cuts that will increase the number of the uninsured. President Bush claimed that his Social Security privatization plan would benefit African Americans because we have shorter life expectancies. The budget makes it clear that the President would rather exploit this issue to sell his privatization scheme than do something to help African Americans live longer. This budget creates deficits, not jobs, and it favors tax cuts for the rich over making the American dream more accessible to all. Every American deserves better. ____________________”
