"This committee was able to provide every facet of the Federal Government with adequate, responsible funding, while continuing to reduce Federal spending."

"Unquestionably, this return to regular order is critical to crafting bills that wisely expend taxpayer dollars."

"the reality is that we need to tackle our mandatory spending programs, where two-thirds of spending is now located, the real driver of our debt."

"Any program that spends money we want to know about, we are entitled to know about, and demand to know about."
