Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, what we have is an incredible amount of bungling, no fiscal responsibility in doing this week by week, month by month. And the discussion of there being a government shutdown, turning the lights out, well, the only person who has called for a government shutdown was Donald Trump back in May, and then he reiterated his call this afternoon for a government shutdown. I think he and the Republican intransigents, the ability to block votes here in the House by a minority--28 percent, almost one-fourth of the people who are here to block a vote--is what led to the last Trump shutdown. And by casting our vote ``no'' today, it is not only about the DREAMers, but it is the only way that we who do not have a majority can speak out and say that this fiscal mismanagement has to stop once and for all. We are tired of taxpayers being charged more money for all kinds of services and products the government procures just because this problem is not solved. Fulfill the dream. Fulfill responsibility for the taxpayers. Vote against this resolution. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President.”
