“Now to hear my friends on the other side with this born-again devotion to passing a budget first, I simply say, Mr. Speaker, what about the family budget? What about your constituents working hard to make ends meet? What about your constituents sending up to 40 percent of their income in taxation to some form of government? What about your constituents paying more in for taxes than for food, clothing and shelter combined? What about your constituents who you have asked time and time and time again to sacrifice so that Washington can do more? Mr. Speaker, I would suggest that is exactly backwards. Washington should live within its means so that American families can have more in this year. For a married couple, an extra $400 this year, I know to big spenders it does not sound like much, but it helps pay down credit card debt. It helps buy new clothes for the kids or a new set of tires.”
