“the Republican Party has a very good agenda, it is called BEST Schools and Military: B for balancing the budget, paying down the debt; E for excellence in education; S for saving Social Security; and T for lowering taxes, with the strongest military in the world. We want to work with the President. I was encouraged with his State of the Union speech. But when the President starts getting obligations to the whacky fringe left, I get scared, because it scares my middle class voting constituency back home. Yesterday the President said something very curious. He said we could give the budget surplus back to you and hope that you spend it right. Who is he? Who are we to tell the American people we do not trust you with your money? This is the whacky fringe left at its best. I believe the American taxpayers, the hard working, middle class moms and dads throughout the country, can spend their money quite well, without a bunch of busybody Washington bureaucrats telling them 'We are smarter than you because we are elected and we are going to spend your money.' I disagree with the President. I think the American people can spend their money better than Congress in many cases.”
