Political Quotes

“Regular order? No. One trillion dollars in ransom for 4 weeks of keeping the government open. It is filled with partisan, political poison pills that will never become law. What we are seeing today from the minority leader is exactly what he once condemned. He is holding the American people hostage. What he is promoting today is not a spending bill; it is a shakedown--the Schumer shakedown, the Schumer strategy to lead to a Schumer shutdown. Let me break down this ransom note line by line because the American people deserve to know what the Democrats are demanding. Their $1 trillion demand includes $500 billion to continue the COVID-era spending spree. We were originally told that the COVID bonus subsidies would be temporary. Democrats now want to turn them into a permanent government giveaway. This is in spite of the fact that the COVID crisis ended years ago. The Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman was right. He said: Nothing is more permanent than a temporary government program. Additionally, Democrats want to weaken Medicaid for those who need it the most. Republicans' comprehensive economic plan strengthens Medicaid. We reduce waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption. Democrats want to kill those reforms. They want to repeal the entire healthcare section of the law. Democrats would rather shut down the government than stop States from paying for free healthcare for illegal immigrants.”
