"Let's not gamble with the full faith and credit of our nation."

"I hope that, in addressing our long-term fiscal challenges, the Congress and the Administration will undertake reforms to the government's tax policies and spending priorities."

"one of the best things we can do for short-term economic growth is to put out a plan that actually stabilizes our fiscal picture."

"Nobody in this Congress should be playing political games when it comes to the full faith and credit of the United States."
