Political Quotes

Seven years ago. He continued to practice even while in the Senate until the bureaucrats made it impossible, I guess, to do so. So the Senator from Oklahoma comes here with practical experience, a brilliant mind, and a committed vision for America. I appreciate the Senator sharing his frustration about what has occurred this week. This is a quote that was in the Wall Street Journal by Democratic Senate strategists about this scheme and plan that was offered in four votes yesterday--votes the majority had conceived in such a way that they were guaranteed to fail and nothing was going to happen. It was a guaranteed plan to ensure nothing would happen. This is what the journal said about it: As a political matter, Democratic strategists say there may be little benefit in producing a budget that would inevitably include unpopular items. The Senator is famous for telling the truth. If he would, I would like him to respond to that. What does that say about our Senate, that the Democrats say there would be little political benefit in producing a budget that might include unpopular items? Doesn't a tough budget that gets us on the right path have to have some things in it that some people might not like?

It would make sense not to rely on self-certification in the future, and yet the Biden Administration is proposing to allow applicants for student loan forgiveness to self-certify for this benefit.
