"the debt and the deficit is a serious problem, and to me, lowering the deficit is progress, but it is not an answer because the hole is still getting deeper."

"I think it is just too easy to say, 'Oh, we are just going to do this for 5 years.'"

"If we are running huge deficits at a time of relative non-crisis and then when we have a legitimate crisis, we do not have any well to go to."

"We have to get control of health care costs, which we spend twice as much per capita than anybody else in the world."
