Political Quotes

Today, I stand here, in the people's House, entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring taxpayers' hard-earned dollars are spent appropriately and with the proper oversight in place. Yet, this week, House Democrats are pushing to ram through their fatally flawed, partisan, multitrillion-dollar tax and spend package, which uses taxpayer dollars and, no doubt, billions of dollars in borrowed money to fund their ultraliberal domestic spending priorities. The gigantic $3.5 trillion bill has apparently been cut down to $1.75 trillion, which is still a lot. What is in the $1.75 trillion tax and spend spree? Amnesty for illegal immigrants, billions for tree equity, tax hikes on job creators and working Americans, and it doesn't end there. The Democrats' package leaves out critical funding for the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security. Democrats have gone so far as to break over 40 years of tradition by stripping the Hyde amendment from their package, a longstanding bipartisan provision that prevents taxpayer dollars from being used to fund abortions. ____________________

All of the weight of study on this question is that probably the most humane way to do an execution is through lethal injection.
