“I’d be worried about a massive economic slowdown. You know, the impact of Wall Street on Main Street, and I’d be worried about job losses.”
“Here is what you need to know: The 2020 election was not stolen; we won and he lost.”

Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 11, 1994
I am opposed to the spending plan crafted by President Clinton and the House Democrats on the Budget Committee. The President and the Democratic leadership have made promises to reform the welfare system, provide tax relief, cut spending, reform the health care system, and stop crime. Yet, the budget for fiscal year 1995 shows that once again, these promises that the American people deserve have not been fulfilled. For instance, the Democratic budget glosses over anticrime legislation and only calls for funding 50,000 police officers, not the 100,000 the President promised. In contrast the Republican budget initiative fully funds a Comprehensive Crime Control Act and adds $2 billion for new police and $3 billion for Federal-State partnerships to build new prisons. The Democratic budget also fails to fund welfare and health care reform proposals.
