Bill Keating actually said...

"the federal government should be funding these initiatives. They save American lives and create American jobs."

"Most of my constituents wanted the budget to reflect their top priority. And amazingly and not surprisingly, however, that is job creation."

"An overwhelming majority of my constituents do not want this Congress to cut federal initiatives that serve them."

"My constituents in the South Shore, Cape, and islands in Massachusetts have very strong opinions on how their taxpayer money should be spent."
