Political Quotes

“I had the privilege of receiving a letter from a constituent, a 14-year-old young man of Star Boy Scouts who is seeking to become a an Eagle Scout, and he is concerned about the Federal debt and deficit. Christopher Woloshyn wrote to me: I think that the Federal deficit is too high and overwhelming for Americans, and will affect people like me even more in the future . . . I believe our government must stop spending more money than it takes in. Can you please help our government reduce our national deficit so myself and fellow young Americans will not be burdened by our national debt? Christopher, I could not agree more with you, and you have the wisdom of someone who can look at this issue with fresh eyes. We here in the House of Representatives, under the leadership of Speaker Boehner, are dedicated to making sure that we do not add to that debt, which is what we are concentrating on this year. That is why I am so proud to support the Speaker in the Boehner principle: that we will not raise the debt ceiling without at least dollar-for-dollar compensatory cuts. Christopher, you deserve a better future. We are determined to provide that to you, and I urge our fellow Members of the House to follow the same. ____________________”
