Political Quotes

“you know, this Nation is in a recession, and our constituents are absolutely outraged with what they see happening in this House. They want action. But they do not want the Democrat stimulus bill that passed the Senate yesterday. What they want is a stimulus for Main Street. They know the best stimulus is a job. They do not want the Democrat big government stimulus bill that was passed across in the other Chamber yesterday. They know that stimulus should be targeted, it should be immediate, it should be temporary, and it should yield results. Yesterday's bill brings us $400 million on social services block grants, $300 million for green golf carts, $198 million on the DHS headquarters consolidation, $300 million on FBI construction, $125 million for District of Columbia water and sewer projects. What they want is focused, targeted stimulus, not a big bill that our children and grandchildren are going to continue to pay for the rest of their lives. Let's oppose this bill. Let's focus on targeted stimulus that will yield results.”
