On the recordApril 12, 2010
last week I traveled around my State of Arizona to large towns and small, and I heard from many of my constituents. Arizonians have very serious concerns about what is happening here in Washington. They are worried about the direction in which our country has moved and about the kind of Nation their kids and their grandkids will inherit. They are unhappy about the tremendous levels of spending and debt and about how new taxes and regulations threaten jobs and our economy. It is not an overstatement to say that people are outraged about what they perceive as irresponsible behavior in Washington. Many are frustrated because they feel as if they have lost control of their government. Today, I wish to focus on three specific concerns I heard, and they all relate to how taxes and regulations are impacting jobs in my home State. First is the health spending bill. If anyone thinks the American people will have forgotten about this in a few months, I can assure you they will not have.
