Political Quotes

“I am honored to represent New Hampshire in its quest for fiscal discipline, fiscal responsibility, and fiscal restraint. We simply offer an amendment that further reduces the necessary spending restraints our country is demanding. This is about listening to our country, listening to the people who just elected this Congress to restore discipline with respect to our spending recognitions in Washington. This amendment, which I am happy and honored to cosponsor, first cuts our own institution. In New Hampshire, I say to the people in New Hampshire, we are going to cut first ourselves before we make other tough cuts in this country. This amendment further reduces our own expenditure. And, finally, it takes 5.5 percent across the board with a few exceptions in the eight non-security divisions of the CR. I support this amendment. I think we have to get serious about spending in this Nation and send a strong message that we are listening to the American people.”
