Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I propose the Senate vote for this budget because it leads to balance, it is fiscally conservative, it allows the Senate and the Congress to decide where money will be spent and where it will not be, it will eliminate waste, and--above all--will get us on the right track toward eliminating or at least staying the expansion of a $20 trillion debt. I think this is the biggest problem we face as a country. As much as I think ObamaCare is a mistake, just ignoring the debt to get to ObamaCare is also a mistake. For those who are or claim to be fiscally conservative, I ask that you will consider voting for a budget that actually balances and continues to have the underlying language in it that would also allow us to repeal ObamaCare. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont.”
