A year goes by, we hear the same testimony, and nothing happens.

George W. Bush was one of the most fiscally irresponsible presidents in our history.

I will continue to want to work with you as much as possible.

The Eisenhower Memorial Commission has repeatedly said that this memorial is primarily intended for children.

Monuments are civic art that cause us to solemnly reflect on who we are and what we value.

Before we redesign the Eisenhower Memorial, which I believe is absolutely essential, we first need to redesign the process that produced this monstrous perversion of a great man, a great achievement, and a great life.

This memorial is likely never to be completed in its current form, because it will never be funded in its current form.

I would suggest you talk to some small business people who are desperately trying to get loans or home buyers who are desperately trying to get loans, and they are telling us they can't get them.

Now, we are also told by your office that the sequester reductions in spending would affect about 0.6 percent of growth, you said about 750,000 jobs, because government would not be spending that money on creating government jobs.

In fact, didn't your office estimate that the tax increases back to the Clinton era rates on those earning $200,000 as individuals, $250,000 as couples, would cost about 200,000 jobs?

But you either borrow it or you tax it if you are going to spend it.

Noncompliance with a congressional subpoena by government officials may not be justified on the ground that they were acting under the orders of a superior.
