A Great Quote

A Great Quote

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure.

It is a sign that the US Government can not pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on

ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies.

"…Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally.

Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here'. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today

onto the backs of our children and Grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership.

Americans deserve better."

WHO SAID THIS?

Remember during the elections ?? I recall him at one of his " look at me, I'm cool " speeches his favorite phase was " It's just words "

That was most likely the only honest thing to ever come out of his mouth, " it's just words "

Cut off from the land that bore us, betrayed by the land we find, where the brightest have gone before us and the dullest remain behind, .......but stand to your glasses, steady,.......tis all we have left to prize, raise a cup to the dead already, hurrah for the next that dies
