“I think there are two ways that we can discipline ourselves. The first is that we need to understand that it is unconscionable to amass an ever larger and larger debt that we are going to pass on to our kids and our grandkids. By the way, the gentleman was talking about Social Security earlier. A recent poll of young people believe more that they would see a UFO than believe they would ever see a Social Security check. So this is not a big vote of confidence in our system. I think there are a couple of things that we need to do to curb spending. One is to recognize how unconscionable it is to continue to amass a larger and larger debt we are going to pass on to our kids and our grandkids. And the second thing is we need to go back to the Constitution. We would not have any problem in spending if we would just stop the spending on things that are unconstitutional.”
