Thomas Ewing said "the time has long passed when we should have balanced our budget. The last speaker is absolutely right, enough is enough. I do not see any sense in what is happening. At the White House, the President has refused consistently to live up to his agreement to balance the budget in 7 years with CBO numbers. All he sent us is a budget that is $200 billion a year out of balance. It is time we get to it. The House Republicans have pledged to put everything on the table, to discuss everything, but we cannot get meaningful discussions with the White House. Let us put the blame where it belongs. Let us put the pressure where it belongs. Mr. President, enough is enough." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
