Political Quotes

“27 weeks the Republicans have been in charge of this House, and they have not brought a single jobs bill to the floor. Instead, House leadership has set its eyes on dogmatically asserting its goals of repealing health care reform and dismantling even the most basic of environmental regulations. Republicans have brought us so far down the path of mass deregulation that even the most basic safeguards are under threat. They have brought forth insipid legislation to repeal bulb efficiency standards and are still fighting against essential clean water regulation. The reality is that both of these efforts will kill jobs and hurt innovation, but the Republicans seem perfectly comfortable in sticking to the rhetoric of anti-regulation regardless of whom it harms. We have gone so far down this path that the anti-tax dogma of the House majority is now bringing debt ceiling negotiations to a terrible, terrible brink of catastrophe. They would rather preserve tax breaks for their corporate jet and oil companies than compromise on a plan that will benefit the middle class of America by better distributing that tax burden. It's wrong. Let's come to the table. ____________________”
