Political Quotes

“the reason the sign used by the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Nussle) was made yesterday was because the majority knew last night when we went to the Committee on Rules with our plan that we were not going to be able to offer it. So these nice charts we see about not having a plan, we would have a plan today, but the other side of the aisle would not let us offer it. We would like to look in August and see if what the gentleman says tonight is actually coming true. What the other side of the aisle said last year we know has not come true, and we only ask to review it in August. We used the Republican plan as a gesture of bipartisanship. The other side of the aisle will not let us have a plan, and then they bring all of these charts down here that they made up yesterday and say the Democrats do not have a plan. This raw partisanship, people are not dumb, they see it. It is going to get you in trouble just like it got this side in trouble sooner or later.”
