"I am very disappointed in the budget, and it is for the simple reason that we are not addressing the fundamental issue we all know exists."

"Economic growth through tax reform, would that make sense, lowering the rate and broadening the base?"

"I appreciate your holding the hearing. You're right, it is historic that we're talking about this."
