On the recordFebruary 18, 2011
Madam Chair, I rise today in support of this amendment. Folks, it's time to stop the spending insanity in this country. The American people know the government's too large, it spends too much money, and indebts future generations. We are $14 trillion in debt and we are $1.5 trillion in the red this year. I am part of an 87-Member freshman class that said go back to the drawing board, get us a hundred billion; but don't stop there. Do not stop there. We have got hard decisions to make in this body. Everyone's got to row this boat if we are going to survive as an American government. We have got to stop. I support this amendment, and ask you to do so as well.
