Richard Burr actually said...

"Currently, Congress is undergoing a partisan mad dash to pass transformational legislation that would radically increase the Federal Government's role in the daily lives of Americans."

"The last Administration followed most of it that was in statute, so they deserve a little bit of credit for having accomplished something that none of us thought they could do."

"Congress deserves as much criticism as any Administration out there, period. End of sentence."

"Let me just remind you, the shelf life of Congress funding programs is about 18 to 36 months."
