Political Quotes

“The only people sacrificing, with due respect to the President, the only people sacrificing are the soldiers in Iraq and the loved ones back here at home, and the children in our country who are being given the bill to pay for all of this. Those are the people who are sacrificing. The President is not sacrificing. I am not sacrificing. No Member of this House of Representatives is sacrificing. No Senator is sacrificing. We are continuing to draw our salaries and enjoying whatever benefits are coming to us. We are not sacrificing, but we are using Social Security trust fund monies. We are increasing the debt. And that debt has to be paid sometime in the future, and the children in this country are being given this huge burden. Now, the President says he wants to build schools in Iraq. I care about children everywhere, but if we are going to build schools in Iraq, let us pay for those schools now. He wants to build schools in Iraq, and he wants to give the bill to America's kids.”
