Tim Walberg said "I have become greatly concerned with the concept that we have heard from the other side of the aisle too often about investing in our great economy. And "investing" in their vernacular means tax increases, spending more of government dollars which, in fact, are taxpayers' dollars. We need to get away from that and allow our taxpayers, the generator of the economy, of a small business, of the manufacturer, the entrepreneur to be able to invest in themselves to make this great country stand not on its government but stand on its independence, its freedom. Because, Mr. Speaker, I am sure you and I would agree on this, that our responsibility here, as Members of Congress, is to fight for and defend and continue the freedom of this great country." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
