Tom Vilsack, Secretary of Agriculture, in remarks at the Democratic National Convention:
Last week, we heard folks at the other convention say they want to “take our country back.” But here’s what I noticed: they didn’t say back to what. Well, we know what backwards looks like. We know what happened to middle-class families after two tax cuts for people who didn’t need them; after deregulation of the banking and housing sectors; after the historic recession that followed.
