Thank you, Mr. Harper. Now I would like to call on my friend Mr. Lamborn, the gentleman from Colorado.

What keeps me awake at night is to see that our debt is growing, not to pay the cost of defending freedom, but to pay for benefits for ourself.

The real debt ceiling that any family, that any business or any government faces is when we get to the point when we can no longer find people to lend us money at a rate we can afford to repay.

I share your optimism that we are going to deal with this issue of sequestration, and I am going to be doing everything I can to make sure it does not happen.
