On the recordJanuary 9, 2007
One of the things that we all know we came here to do is to stop the runaway inflation and debt that is just climbing up in our country on a regular basis. The thought that spending from the year 2001 to 2003, total government spending, Mr. Speaker, increased by 16 percent, these types of raises and just continual going into debt is what has put our country where every man, woman and child now is at the level of $29,005. We need to have the right kind of controls, and I believe in Ohio, Indiana, Florida, certainly please speak out as to what you feel the issues are in your State and what we can do about it.
