"I am disappointed that your budget reflects a continued adherence to your misguided priorities."

"Your abuse of taxpayer dollars spent on first-class travel, $43,000 on a glorified phone booth, is an insult to the hardworking American taxpayers."

"I think a decision has to be made sooner rather than later."
