Political Quotes

“We are looking at a record-breaking budget deficit this year, most likely more than $1.5 trillion, and next year, well, we're not sure since our Democrat colleagues haven't passed a budget. Not since modern budget rules were adopted with the 1974 Budget Act has the House failed to pass a budget. American families have made tough choices to balance their budgets, so why not Congress? Republicans think the government should also live within its means, so we have created an online tool called YouCut to involve every American in the budget process. Americans have already cast nearly half a million votes in the YouCut program, voting for their topics to reduce spending and to cut the deficit. We'll have a chance to vote this week on spending cuts approved by the American people. I hope my colleagues will join us in listening to the American people and in getting serious about our record budget deficit.”
