On the recordJanuary 1, 2013
I know my friend from Virginia means well, but, once again, he talks about a lack of accomplishment. Apparently, he hasn't looked at the work that the clerks have done here on the floor. He hasn't looked at the work that CBO, the Congressional Budget Office, has done, or the Government Accountability Office. Those are all funded, and yet we had an 11 percent reduction in spending. So, in fact, when we're talking about the hardworking men and women of the government, this branch has found a way to reduce spending by over 11 percent in spite of the hardworking men, not just here on the floor and in our offices, but the Governmental Accountability Office, the CBO and others. With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
