Quotes
Here are some quotes I’d like to read in the paper:
--â€We can’t loan your country any more money. You see, we’re in debt ourselves.â€
--â€We’re going to reduce the debt, not just the deficit. Reducing the deficit only means we’re overspending a little less than last year.â€
--â€We can’t just give you a welfare check--would you be willing to work if excellent, free child-care is provided?â€
--â€Just because I’ve been selling drugs, you’re telling me that you’re going to lock me up and throw away the key?â€
--â€What do you mean that owning an assault rifle is a felony?â€
--â€As your congressman, I’m going to start listening to what the people want instead of the NRA.â€
--â€I’m guilty. I feel that I owe something to society and do not wish to cause the huge expense of a trial.â€
--â€We are not going to build that $8-million military plane, but instead we are going to use the funds for low-income housing for working families.â€
