"Our fiscal situation is dire because of bad decisions made here over many years and it can only be corrected here."

"A commission may be the best shot we have to help us get back on track."

"if you are going to fix a $2 trillion deficit and indeed quit digging this hole deeper, you can't do it on discretionary spending."
