A deficit is simply a future tax in the form either of debt or inflation.

my concern with this budget and the ideology that has produced it is that it takes us far from the fundamental principles that have produced the prosperity and freedom that Americans once enjoyed.

Are these the priorities of the current administration to fund the kinds of offices that hire individuals that use this kind of divisive, racist language?

the sheer size of spending is unprecedented, both in its amount and as a percentage of GDP.

I think we are arguing past each other on a lot of the points that have been made today.

In a free market, the only way to make a dollar is to figure out what somebody else needs and provide it for them better than they can provide it for themselves.

without Congress' neglect, without Congress' failure to act, we wouldn't be dealing with the REINS Act right now.

It's my understanding that the REINS Act could undo multiple major rules, including many that keep our kids safe.

We do have bipartisan agreement that the Senate doesn't work fast enough as it is now.

To hear what we're hearing in the rhetoric today, these Federal agencies are running roughshod over Congress and there's nothing Congress can do about it.

So, if Congress isn't using that authority, it's not the Federal agency's fault; it's a matter of congressional neglect.

As set forth by our Constitution, binding rules should come from politically accountable elected representatives, not from the Administrative State.
