Pete Hoekstra said "We need to prepare this country, which means I think that we have to carry forward on our vision toward getting a surplus budget and a government that can be funded by a one-wage-earner family, that a two-wage-earner family is an option, and that we get a government and we get it in a size and a scale that no longer sucks strength away from our families, but is in balance with what our families need. If we can do that, we will prepare the proper environment for our children to be successful." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
