Political Quotes

“If we talk about national security and intersecting those who do harm, the first thing we ought to talk about in this Congress at this time is where's the budget.

Not since 1974 when the Budget Act was written has the House failed to even consider a budget.

Let's get a budget that reduces wasteful Washington spending.”
