Political Quotes

“Only in Washington, D.C., are we debating whether it's a good idea to balance the Federal budget. The American people don't have the luxury of choosing. Families and businesses across the country are forced to balance their budgets and live within their means, and the Federal Government should be held to the same standard. I believe a constitutional amendment to balance our Federal budget is a real long-term solution to our Nation's fiscal problems, and I am pleased Congress will soon vote on one for the first time in 15 years. This is a critical time for our Nation. Over 14 million Americans are unemployed, and our record-setting level of debt is over $14 trillion. Congress has a moral obligation to our children and grandchildren to stop the outrageous spending and to restore fiscal sanity in Washington in order to ensure we don't leave them under a mountain of debt. I will continue fighting for a constitutional amendment to require the Federal Government to live within its means just like families across Oklahoma do every day. ____________________”
