“We are at that crossroad, and that's why it is so important we have this conversation now, because this is a bipartisan issue. If you look at what is happening all across the country, it's not just Republican Governors, but it's Democrat Governors who are also making those same responsible decisions to cut back rather than to increase taxes and rather than to go into deeper debt. It is Republican and Democrat and independent families across our country who are making those tough decisions. So I think that we, as responsible Members of Congress, can join on both sides, Republican and Democrat, and do what's right for the taxpayers and for the future generations so that they're not saddled with this extra $1.3 billion of deeper deficit spending.”
