Pete Domenici: “The two of us have done this budgeting differently because we have done it bipartisanly from the very beginning.”

Well, I would just say that, sometimes when we are working on trying to solve this fiscal problem, the recognition that a long-term fix is what is needed puts many people in the position that they do not know how you do that and do it now.

Unless you fix Medicare, you cannot fix this deficit.

It is clear from this example that good things can happen when we open up more areas for drilling in a responsible manner.

To me, it does not [seem like a good tax].
