I was going to say, one thing that you can do here in Washington is print money. The average family can't. If the Democrats were to pass this budget and give them that $4,000 or $3,800 tax increase in New Jersey, your citizens in New…

I don't think it is a very good deal at all. What are they going to get for that? I think that is part of the question here. What exactly are they going to get for that? Are they going to get some of the spending like we just saw passed in…

A big problem, big issues, and this resolution doesn't address them. What does it do? It basically says that the military leaders have a suggestion that we have reinforcements that they believe may improve the situation, help us get a…

But if the budget passed by the Democrats in this House, when was it, last week, were to become law, then we will have a rainforest in Iowa, and it will be built with $50 million of your money. That is you people watching. It will be tax…

Wow, what a shock. The other side says they are tax cuts for the rich, and they are not, unless making under $50,000 makes you rich.

The problem is not that people are taxed too little; it is the government is spending too much. I didn't just make that up. I didn't come up with that now. I am paraphrasing the words of President Ronald Reagan and comments he made several…

Thank you, Dr. Price. It is as though the people on the other side, the Democrats, the facts of what is going on in the economy, what is going on in the budget, what tax cuts do, what they do not do, it just does not fit with what they…

As you say, one of the great differences between us and them, we talked about it being your money, their money, the People's money, the taxpayers' money. Your money, watching on television, they talk about it like it is their money, like…

The 12-month budget deficit, the last 12 months, is $188 billion. Remember, some time ago, we were talking about nearly half a trillion dollars. That $188 billion is down 38 percent as a rolling 12-month budget deficit from what it was a…

I spent 25 years in the retail car business, so I have done my share of negotiating. There is a golden rule of negotiating to buy something that if you want to get the best price, you have to be willing to say, No, I won't buy it. So if…

two plus two does not equal six, but if I were to assume that it did, I could take care of the budget. Easy. PAYGO assumes that when you increase taxes, revenue goes up, and when you lower tax rates, revenue goes down. But history shows…

I tried to keep track on my paper here of how many times the opposition to this budget proposal used the word ``cut,'' and I ran off the edge of the page. It is 30- something or 40-something times they used the word ``cut.'' The truth is…

what I hear here and what I see here are four things: tax, spend, smoke, and mirrors. Tax. We have seen, we have heard half a trillion dollars over 5 years, massive tax increase as yet not clearly defined, but a massive tax increase…

I have to say the course of this budget debate is somewhat perplexing. My friends on the other side of the aisle here, the Democrats, are consistently railing about the deficit and the evils of the deficit and how bad the deficit is and…

thank you all. Thank you, Congressman Dreier. I wish, Mr. Speaker, to thank my family first for their support and their coming here today. I wish to thank the people of Orange County for the confidence that they have placed in me to have…

I think they're trying to build a fantasy conspiracy out of bits and pieces, and basically trying to ignore what was really the proof in the case.
