Political Quotes

“the President in his speech today said that he intended to build 1,000, 1,000 new schools in Iraq. And I serve a district where children are going to schools that are unsafe, where they have so many safety violations because of the age of the buildings that if they were a business, they probably would be closed down, where a prisoner that was a ward of the State could not be housed because the safety violations would keep the State from putting the prisoners in those buildings; and we have got school children going to those buildings, and the President is going to use the tax dollars coming from southeastern and southern Ohio where I have one county with unemployment of 13.5 percent, tax dollars are going to come from those moms and dads. They are going to come here from Washington, and the President is going to take those tax dollars and use them to build new schools in Iraq. It just does not make sense.”
