Barbara Mikulski in MD Senate Debate

On Health Care: Oppose a prescription plan that subsidies the drug companies

You better believe I voted against that Bush prescription drug plan. It helped insurance companies, and gave great subsidies to the drug companies. I wanted to have a prescription drug benefit that would help seniors. Source: MD Senate Debate, in Washington Post Oct 19, 2004

On Social Security: Opposed to turning over Social Security to Wall Street

I am absolutely opposed to turning over Social Security to Wall Street, where we will have to deal with either the bull of political promises or the bear of the market. Source: MD Senate Debate, in Baltimore Sun Oct 19, 2004

On War & Peace: Pipkin had no plan for the war and for peace

PIPKIN: I believe it’s important that we fight the terrorists in Baghdad, rather than in Bethesda or Baltimore or on the Bay Bridge.

MIKULSKI: What a poor civilian leader Pipkin has turned out to be, to either help Bush or support our troops. He didn’t have a plan for the war and he certainly didn’t have a plan for peace.
