I think there is zero chance of us passing such a tax as this.

This is another huge gimmick in the budget.

It is an asset that continues to help us be more productive and happier as a society.

I was disappointed deeply that the stimulus package... only had about 3 percent of the budget for roads and bridges.

The $300 to $400 billion we spend, where money is offshored to bring in oil, is a huge, a huge burden on the American people.

There is a soft bigotry of low expectations.

We cannot go forward on the bald assumption that, somehow, we can appropriate and authorize spending based on a tax that is not going to be collected.

We are sending more students, we are spending more money, and we are getting less for it.

You are proposing to increase that much. They are not going to be increased that much because we do not have the money.

Well, I know we took it over. We had a fight over that.

The President says his budget is a plan for winning the future, but you cannot win the future for our children with borrowed money.

We cannot approve, and I do not think will approve, an 11-percent increase in education funding.

We need a dramatic course correction. We need to get the message. We need to get in sync with reality of what is happening in the world today.

If we get entrenched in spending at 25 percent of GDP, we are going to have a very difficult time getting back there.

Since we are so short of funds, we need to see some real efficiencies that actually enhance education without driving up costs.

I believe you are a strong administrator. I think you have the ability to do that.

I think we can all agree that funding and money does not necessarily improve education.

Well, over the next decade, the deficit will double from $13 trillion to $26 trillion.

We are going to fight for spending cuts this week, next week, next month, next year.

I think that is indisputable.

I believe that CBO's final letter right before the vote that it double counts the money is correct, and it is a miscalculation.

In my opinion, we are too close, and as responsible Government officials we have a duty to help our country avoid risk that is unnecessary.

We are not inclined to use a share of the economy anymore. That is why we are broke.

Isn't it a fact that total discretionary spending increases every single year except maybe with the reduction in the military effort next year?

I think it is a dangerous theory. It is part of the reason we are here, this GDP argument. The debt goes up.
