“I came here in 1995 with Mr. Gingrich. We became the first majority House and Senate in 40-some years. We came here to reduce the size of government, and as the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Toomey) has said and as the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Ryan) has said, we have not done the job. There is more that needs to be done. I hope sincerely that the American people understand that this is their government and they need to speak through their elected officials in Congress and in the Senate to let people know that we need to return the money to the people, whether it be through capital gains tax, other tax reductions. But the whole key is what has been said; this government is growing too fast, is too large, and we need to do a better job of reducing the size of government so Americans can keep more of their money. I thank the gentleman for taking the leadership on this Special Order. I will continue to work with the gentleman and my colleagues to do our very best to make sure that we reduce the size of government and we reduce taxes on the American people.”
