Political Quotes

“well, the big day is finally here and all of America is happy. The time is here. After months of being Medi- scared to level with the American people and tell them how much their pockets are going to be picked to provide the same level of health care, Mr. Speaker, today is the day that has finally been announced by the Republicans as the day they will unveil the details of their Medicare plan. The Speaker has put out notice on national TV that we would finally get the details of how deep into the pockets of our senior citizens they are going to reach in order to provide a tax break for the privileged few. The Republican bright lights, and some of the not so bright lights, were all assembled. All the luminaries were gathered. And what details were provided? Absolutely none. Mr. Speaker, after all this waiting, after all this attention to the great performance, it is as if they forgot the words to the song. Now we know absolutely nothing more than we did before, and that is only that it is going to cost American seniors billions of dollars to pay for this tax break for the privileged few.”
