Political Quotes

“What the gentleman is describing here are the values embraced by this Congress, and some people seem to think it is more important to give tax cuts to people who make over $200,000 a year than it is to put sufficient resources into caring for our sick and disabled veterans. That is an argument we can have, but I think the American people are going to side with us. Especially during this time of war, and the gentleman from Maine (Mr. Michaud) knows this, as he visits his district, as I visit my district, as the gentleman from Maine (Mr. Allen) visits his district, we hear from people that they honor and revere the service that our veterans have given to our country, and they want us to put the needs of our sick and our disabled veterans at the top of the list. They do not want them to be at the bottom and get the leftovers. They want them to be at the top. Sadly, this administration has decided that it is more important to take the resources we have and give those resources to the richest people among us in the form of tax breaks than to put sufficient resources into our health care.”
