We should be using ‘current policy.’ We need to avoid a massive, automatic tax increase.

We are way over, bloated we got to cut back.

But I still think the right thing to do is to get our government under control. We’re $37 trillion in debt and growing.

I think we need to pay down the credit card, right?

Make no mistake, Los Angeles will use this money wisely.

Are we going to get enough cuts, and how real are those?

If we were fiscally conservative, why wouldn’t we take the savings from Elon Musk and DOGE and move it over here and help with the border?

Billions and billions, hundreds of billions of dollars over budget.

This budget put forward by the chairman is a giant step forward to reduce spending.

The hang-ups are how much spending cuts, what we’re gonna put for growth rate, how we’re gonna handle the limit on spending and all of that.

We should make it very clear that until there is an ironclad agreement that everything that the House appropriates and authorizes will be dispersed, we will not vote to increase the debt ceiling.

we’ll restore fiscal sanity to our budgets and dismantle the regulatory state.

an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars.

If there’s ways to save spending, count me in.

We get to decide, we have the power of the purse.

We need to show that we have a plan, that we’re not going to raise the debt ceiling if they continue to do these kind of antics.

the current concern for budget deficits, which I share and which I think we should find a way to try to bring under control, is not brought under control by adding trillions of additional dollars in tax cuts.

Aren't you putting that very program at risk by not raising the debt ceiling?
