Endless borrowing is not a strategy. Spending restraint must come first.

Washington is creating much of this uncertainty, and the explosive growth of our federal debt is by far the biggest source of this uncertainty.

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.

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

So I think we need additional fiscal stimulus to drive unemployment down, we shouldn't be so worried about inflation in places outside of our country so much, and I think we've got to worry about jobs here at home.

Put additional investments in infrastructure, like you mentioned, you know, $50 billion, $100 billion in the next year or two for infrastructure that needs to get done anyway in education, in job retraining that would put people directly back to work.

Something tells me we are going to have a big debate over the definition of investment over the next two years.

Endless borrowing is not a strategy. We must restore the foundations of economic growth--low taxes, spending restraint, reasonable regulations, and sound money.

Washington is creating much of this uncertainty.

The U.S. economy continues to suffer from slow growth, and unemployment remains unacceptably high.

One of the disincentives to work I experience with folks in my district is, they're better off being on Medicaid because they have health care for their kids.
