The Federal Government's budget problems are no secret. But hearing that the U.S. national debt will soon exceed $20 trillion still shocks the conscience.

I am convinced that it will take a binding rule, a constitutional amendment to accomplish it.

the reality is debt is taxes. Tax policy is inherent in addressing debt, because somebody is going to pay it eventually, and it is going to be through taxes.

If we continue down this path, we will go bankrupt.

I trust the former FBI director more than the president.

I think we should listen. And I think we should respond. As long as they're respectful, I'm going to respect them.

It's outrageous that this sort of government-made catastrophe would happen anywhere in the United States.

If you're a state and you don't set up an exchange, that means your citizens don't get their tax credits.

The Business Cycle Balanced Budget Amendment requires a balanced budget over a 3-year business cycle.

That is why I support amending the U.S. Constitution to require balanced budgets.
