“It is undeniably true that we are spending far too much money. It is fascinating to hear the discussion of this particular phenomenon, spending too much money, and having Members on the other side of the aisle decry that particular activity. To the best of my recollection, we have yet to see any budget proposed by the other side of the aisle that would address the issue of spending. Not one. In fact, every single budget proposed by Members from the other side of the aisle spends more. At no time to the best of my recollection have we said on this floor, while we debated any particular appropriations bill, any one of the 13 appropriations bills the House has the responsibility to address and pass to keep the government moving, I do not recall... any time during the discussion of any one of those appropriations bills where the issue was we are spending too much from the other side.”
