“Actually, something that we are not talking about also, we are seeing all of these cuts, but at the same time there is a State tax increase there because you have cuts at the Federal level and guess who has got to bear the brunt? I served in the State legislature in Oklahoma before I came to Congress. And we had all these things called unfunded mandates that the other side talked a lot about, these unfunded mandates. Guess who is sending these unfunded mandates right now? It is the other side. They are sending them back to State legislatures like my home State of Oklahoma. And they are not only going to the States. They are going to the counties, they are going to the municipalities, and it is going to be a tax increase for the American people.”
