Political Quotes

“Just to close, again quoting from this booklet, it talks about the need for grass roots involvement, and it talks about the army of people at the grass roots level and what we need. It talks about this army is arming itself with information about the causes, but more importantly the effects of the growing national debt and what that debt is doing to our future. Again, going back to what my colleagues talked about, robbing from the next generation if we do not start going off spending and balancing the budget. The choice is nevertheless clear. Either eliminate the deficit and return to the kind of United States that leaves each generation better off than the one before, or do nothing, spend every cent we can get our hands on, and borrow the rest, mortgage our future and betray the American dream. That is the opportunity that is laid on front of us tomorrow. If we can get the 218 signatures, and then go through the process in a constructive, in a bipartisan, responsible way, getting input from the American people, we can attack this problem, we can make a difference, and most importantly, we can do what the people sent us to Washington to do, which is to straighten out our fiscal house, get us on a solid foundation so that we not only can have a bright future in the short term, but that for those next generations we have not stolen the American dream from them.”
