Political Quotes

“No, the moms and dads of this country would certainly favor this. Particularly, let me say the toughest job in the world is a single parent. The gentleman's bill does more to help single parents than anything we have done. So, clearly, they would like to make those cuts. I thank the gentleman again for his leadership. He has done more to help parents, particularly single parents, but all parents than any other single thing we have done. I hope the gentleman will get a unanimous vote from this side as well as the other side. Mr. Chairman, I support the Kasich budget, putting families first. The Kasich budget is a dramatic shift in Government resources that directly reinvests in American families and provides incentives to increase job creation, private savings, and sound investments in the future by providing individuals and families with a greater participatory role in shaping and determining their own futures. The Kasich budget does all of this while cutting the budget by approximately $100 billion more than the President's budget. It also does this while putting a good welfare reform plan in place, reforming health care in a positive way that will help families and putting more money into crime control. This plan also does not harm present Federal employees or retirees and in fact will help many Federal employee families by providing them with a significant tax break. Given the hits they have taken in the past 2 years, this is good news.”
