The Actual Quote

On the April 21st episode of Bill Maher, there was a Congressional guest Rep. RAHM EMANUEL, (D) Illinois who had one of the most staggering quotes that was simply astounding:

EMANUEL: Well, you’d better come out here to the north side of Chicago. Let me just lay out a couple points to you. One, 40% -- education costs are up 40% for the American people. Energy prices are up 80% for the American people. Health care costs are up 58% for the American people, and their incomes are down 2.3%. You know, the American people have got a cut in pay, and all the expenses that come along with building and sustaining a middle-class life have actually gone up. I know the economy for the people who live from a paycheck on the first all the way to the 30th, that paycheck ends its value on the 26th, and they’ve got figure out how to make ends meet for that last week.
