Steve Womack: “Now, you show me what business or what governmental jurisdiction anywhere in America is effectively and efficiently…”

On the recordMarch 15, 2011
Now, you show me what business or what governmental jurisdiction anywhere in America is effectively and efficiently managed when you're operating without a budget already 3 months into the budget year. So our conference, in particular, is leading by example. We are providing a leadership example for the spending cuts that so many people around America have said over and over again we have to achieve. Look, America gets it. We are at a $1.5 trillion deficit in this FY, and we are $14-plus trillion in debt. We have to do something about spending. It's all about the end game, which is where this side of the aisle and that side of the aisle can come to an agreement because we know that the end game is about the creation of jobs.
