if we can't even cut welfare that we're giving to other countries, if we can't cut foreign aid welfare, I feel bad for the country.

This will be the greatest increase in the debt ceiling ever. The GOP owns this now.

One of the things this 'big and beautiful bill' is, is, it's a vehicle for increasing spending for the military and for the border.

If I vote for the $5 trillion debt, who's left in Washington that cares about the debt?

Proposed Medicaid cuts are an attack on rural America.

there's nothing beautiful about that.

This is a problem we’ve been facing for decades now, and if we don’t stand up on it, I really fear the direction the country is going.

I think the cuts currently in the bill are wimpy and anemic, but I still would support the bill even with wimpy and anemic cuts if they weren’t going to explode the debt.

Somebody has to stand up and yell, ‘The emperor has no clothes.'

Well, conservatives do need to stand up and have their voice heard.

The math doesn’t add up.

There’s got to be someone left in Washington who thinks debt is wrong and deficits are wrong and wants to go in the other direction.

The problem is the math doesn’t add up.

I’m not for continuing the Biden spending levels or the Biden deficits. Once the Republicans vote for this, the Republicans are going to own the deficit.

The project afoot isn’t going to fix the deficit at all.

if we were serious, we’d be cutting spending now, instead of promising to cut spending years from now.

I’ve got the Trump antibodies.

If something is beautiful, you don't do it after midnight.
