“change is scary, especially for the folks who liked things the way they were. But my job is to do the people's work. Mr. Speaker, the American people have spoken. They want a leaner and less intrusive government. They want us to put our financial house in order. And finally, they want us to end politics as usual. Congress has been on a spending binge that has clearly lasted too long. This binge has created a huge national debt that is costing our country $816 million every day in interest alone. The American people demand that we get our financial house in order. It is time to end the bickering and get down to work. It is time to show the courage needed to pass a balanced budget amendment. For too long Congress has spent and spent, passing the bill on to our children and our grandchildren. This has got to end. I recognize that the road ahead will be tough. I also recognize there will be resistance. We must pass a balanced budget amendment.”
