Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, America simply has a spending problem. That much is clear. Our national debt stands at nearly $17 trillion; $17 trillion. Let that number sink in for a moment. Is it that kind of legacy that we want to pass on to our children and grandchildren? This year alone our national deficit is projected to be around $700 billion, and that is despite the President's $600 billion tax increase this year. In fact, the government is going to collect more revenue this year than it has ever taken in before. How much sense does that make? What is being done to address the real driver of our debt--runaway Washington spending? House Republicans want commonsense spending cuts and reforms. We want everyone treated fairly under ObamaCare, no special treatment, especially for big corporations or for Members of Congress. We want a secure economic future for all Americans. It is time to act. It is time for real solutions. ____________________”
