Saxby Chambliss: “We have been taking the money that is received by the government from the taxpayers and deciding exactly how that money…”

On the recordSeptember 7, 1995
We have been taking the money that is received by the government from the taxpayers and deciding exactly how that money ought to be spent, which departments ought to receive what amount of money, what programs ought to be funded, and what programs ought not to be funded. One thing that we have done, we have made severe cuts in Federal spending. We are going to continue to make severe cuts in Federal spending. We are not going to accomplish all of the cuts that need to be made in this session of Congress, but we have made a giant step in the right direction.
