Political Quotes

On the recordSeptember 18, 2014
Rather than this dog and pony show and the message piece that is before us today, right before the November 4 elections, I think the American people are a lot smarter than what some people give them credit for. They know we have a fiscal problem that has to be addressed, and I think most people would realize that, by coming forward with yet another bill at a cost of $573 billion, with no offsets and no pay-fors, it is only going to make the situation worse and truly jeopardize the economic opportunities for our children and grandchildren in the future. Instead of coming out with this legislation today, which is a grab bag for powerful special interests, let's do the tough, heavy lifting that needs to be done. Let's make these policy changes but in a fiscally responsible way, by finding offsets in the code to pay for them, so we can get our fiscal house put back in order and create the good-paying jobs that America needs today.
