Jeff Sessions actually said...

"the gross debt of the United States in 2013 is $17.2 trillion, and in 2023, it is $25.4 trillion, a net increase of $8.2 trillion"

"I read your budget, it increases taxes in plain numbers by over $1 trillion, and it increases spending by almost that same amount, virtually having no deficit reduction."

"the President's statement was very strong."

"This is not a compromise plan. It is a tax-and-spend plan that does not alter the debt course of America, and that debt course, as Mr. Bowles told us, is unsustainable at this point."
