Political Quotes

“So because we have to hurry up and finish and get to recess, we can't get inside the numbers and figure out what we're going to do with this bill. Now some of it we have found out, if you're into golf carts, there is $300 million for green golf carts. We have also $125 million for sewers in D.C. We have $500 million for NASA exploration activities. We have $2 billion for FutureGen. We have $70 million for an energy-efficient visitors centers program. These are all items that may be worthy of standing on their own merit. The problem is this is not a stimulus bill. It is a spending bill. It has become the biggest pork barrel bill that we have ever seen. It is full of special interest earmarks and favors that will go to specific industries. I urge everyone to vote ``no'' on this, and I urge us to take our time to debate.”
