This Is A Big F...ing Deal!

We Spent $100 Billion On Education, Saving The Education System 300,000 Teachers Who Were Laid Off Because Of The Recession. We Also Put Tens Of Thousands Of Lower Income Kids In College Through Pell Grants Which Has Fundamentally All Their Opportunity. We Did The Same Thing With Regard To What We Did On Transportation. So We Weren't Just Trying To - We Knew We Had To Do Something Big To Keep Us From Going Over The Cliff Into A Depression And Pull Us Out Of Hole.

I Was Angry. I Was Kind Of Looking For A Fight. I Didn't Want To Talk To You Guys In The Press, Because Initially, Understandably, All They Wanted To Talk To Me About Was, You Know, What Does It Feel Like?

This Attitude Of How Society Views Women As Chattel - That's The Biggest Thing To Overcome. When I First Started A Stake In The Issue Of Relationship Abuse, I Got Really Beat Up By The Christian Right Because I Was Interfering In What Was A Personal Family Affair. It's A "family Matter." That's Why I Wish We'd Drop The Phrase "domestic Violence." It Sounds Like A Domesticated Cat. It Is The Most Vicious Of All Crimes - To Be Abused By Someone You Had A Relationship With! Because Then You Blame Yourself.

Obama And Biden Want To Raise Taxes By A Trillion Dollars. Guess What? Yes, We Do In One Regard. We Want To Let That Trillion Dollar Tax Cut Expire So The Middle Class Doesn't Have To Bear The Burden Of All That Money Going To The Super-wealthy. That's Not A Tax Raise. That's Called Fairness Where I Come From.

Wealthy People Are Just As Patriotic As Poor People, I Honest To God Believe That.
