I am deeply saddened by the loss of five U.S. Army personnel in southern Colombia.

This debate is not about whether we should have tax cuts; it's about how big they should be and what else this country has to do.

The right choice for me is clear, putting first things first.

I say to Congress, if you send me a tax cut that shortchanges America's priorities and our children's future, I will veto it.
