“this debate is almost hilarious. My colleagues on the other side say there is no budget. But each appropriations bill we have in the balanced budget has a cap. Every appropriations bill has a budget in it, all 13 of them. There is your budget. And in every case, every single case except one that the liberals always want to cut is defense, and our national security is the lowest it has been in 30 years. That is your cash cow. In every single one. You say, well, education. Your party over 40 years has screwed up the education program to where we are 15th in the industrialized nations in math and science. We are last in literacy. And for the first time we have taken the 760 federal education programs so you can rein down your excessive money and limit it and get the money to the classroom. Instead of 50 cents on the dollar, we are going to get 90 cents on the dollar down to the classroom. You call us extreme. Well, yesterday's fiasco, so that you can generate your base, we are trying to lead the country based on the Constitution and here you are with a gimmick to try to generate your base. And now you are over at the White House saying, Mr. President, we need to spend more, we need big government, we need to tax more, and do you think we are going to stick around and let you do that? We are going to stick around, but we are not going to let you get away your liberal spending, liberal tax and liberal bigger government. Absolutely not.”
