Political Quotes

“Yesterday, Chuck Schumer, minority leader of the U.S. Senate, came to the floor with his most recent ransom note. Of course, it wasn't serious. It was dead on arrival. Senator Schumer is demanding that the U.S. Government send a check directly to the insurance companies of America to the tune of tens and tens and tens of billions of dollars, right from the government, mainlined and into the bank accounts of the insurance companies of America. Chuck Schumer actually cuts the people--the American people, the taxpayers--out of the process. The people who are waiting for food, the people who are waiting for paychecks, the people who are protecting us--it cuts them out completely. Nope. Direct money--Chuck Schumer, U.S. Government--into the bank accounts of the insurance companies of America. Think about it. Direct payment, U.S. Government to U.S. insurance companies, with the American people having absolutely no say in how that money is spent. That is what Chuck Schumer wants. No accountability. What he said is that if the Republicans will not send that $30 billion to insurance companies--and it may be more than that, actually, if you do all the calculations--the Democrats are ready to keep the government closed. No paychecks. No food stamps. No military getting paid. Nothing. This is a true reflection of the failure of ObamaCare.”
