"Is it correct that President Clinton dramatically decreased entitlement spending by signing the Welfare Reform Act?"

"Do you not agree that it is a massive expansion of entitlement spending?"

"I have to take strong exception with your testimony that a provision to support the public credit by assuring the first call on revenues goes to support the public credit is somehow unworkable."

"Put it very simply, when you are depending on your credit cards to pay your bills, you better make the minimum payment first, and I urge you to reconsider your position on that."
