Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, last month, President Obama released his budget proposal. It, as expected, increases taxes and spending without balancing the budget and allows Social Security and Medicare to go bankrupt. The President's refusal to address the compounding national debt emphasizes his disinterest in being a leader. Fortunately, we in the House are leading. Our budget offers a stark contrast. We implement commonsense reforms, balance the budget, eliminate wasteful government spending, repeal ObamaCare in full, and preserve Social Security and Medicare for current beneficiaries and future generations. Our budget restores the principle of federalism--the foundation of our Constitution--empowering States, local communities, and the real drivers of opportunity and prosperity, the American people. I look forward to the debate this week in the House and working to ensure the proper balance between our national security interests and our long-term deficit reduction. ____________________”
