“Two weeks ago, after 90 hours of debate, House Republicans in this majority passed a long-term funding resolution that found more than $100 billion in savings off the President's budget. It defunded their government takeover of health care. It even denied all Federal funding to Planned Parenthood of America. But while House Republicans have done the people's business, at this moment, Mr. Speaker, the Senate has virtually done nothing except find a way to fund the government for another 2 weeks, and the White House just appointed a few negotiators yesterday--just 2 short days before government funding would have run out to begin with. Look, the patience of the American people is wearing thin, and so is mine. Our Nation is facing a fiscal crisis of epic proportions--$1.65 trillion in deficits this year, $14 trillion national debt. The time to put our fiscal house in order is now. No more delays. No more kicking the cans. Let's have the debate. Let's hash it out. Let's defund ObamaCare. Let's defund Planned Parenthood, and let's use this moment to have this fight to make a downpayment on restoring fiscal sanity to Washington, D.C.”
