“I think our goal should continue to be to keep our commitment to the budget agreement of last year, stick to the caps we agreed to, preserve the surplus, and see what we can do to return taxes to the people who have worked and earned those taxes.

Of course, there are many foreign policy issues that we will need to address--and all of this in only about 5 weeks or so.”
