Political Quotes

“I will tell you what the reality would be of the vision that he is trying to foist onto the United States Senate today and onto the American people. The vision would create larger deficits in the outyears. The deficits would continue to grow and the red ink would continue to flow and the Treasury would continue to hemorrhage. It is the same vision that the senior Senator from Texas espoused when he was a Member of the House of Representatives and helped put forth the Gramm-Latta budget proposal that set this country on the path of fiscal disaster. We are still reeling today from that faulty, faulty vision and proposal. We saw the deficits of this country go to unparalleled levels, unparalleled peacetime levels, during the 1980's in pursuit of that vision, and that vision is simply cut taxes for the wealthiest among us, and let everybody else fend for themselves, and let us do not worry about what occurs with the deficit.”
