I just don't see it happening.

There is a commission coming together on entitlement reform.

I would ask, just formally, unanimous consent that Members can submit additional questions for the record.

I just really think this is a wrong idea at a horrific time.

the idea that you would raise taxes on the American public when we are in this sort of financial condition in the country right now doesn't seem rational.

Seems to me that that is something we are going to have to do long term to maintain economic competitiveness for us, is just to try to stimulate capital formulation and probably tax more on the consumption side of the equation.

The key impediment to hiring and investment among small businesses is the lack of credit.

I voted against a bunch of it, but it happened.

But we will be different when we get back. We are going through pain, but let's get on the other side and show something for it.

we ought to look at ways to pull back on the things that stimulate the government and support the things that stimulate the economy

This will be an extended debate, and several of us are going to try to make sure we have it...

We have been unable to compete, unable to generate enough revenue from exports to pay for what we import.
