Political Quotes

On the recordApril 16, 2015
I thank my friend. That is what is so onerous behind this legislation. They have become very clever at piling up debt, convincing the American people we have a spending problem; yet the very programs they decide to target in their budget resolutions are those programs that provide upward income mobility for all Americans. I am a product of that. I am a kid who went on to school with Pell grants, with student loans, with the workstudy program. There is no way I want to be a Member of Congress that is going to pull up the ladder behind me and say ``tough luck'' to the lower income classes of this country. That is what this bill leads to, and I encourage my colleagues to oppose it.
