Bernie Sanders said "I ask my friend from New Jersey--there is a very strong difference of opinion in the Senate and in the House about economic issues. Many of our Republican friends think trickle-down economics-- giving tax breaks to the wealthy, cutting Social Security, cutting Medicare, cutting Medicaid, cutting education--is the way they would like to see our country move forward. Does my friend from New Jersey have any doubt, if you have a financial control board dominated by four Republicans, that is exactly the type of philosophy that will be imposed on the people of Puerto Rico?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
