Political Quotes

“Mr. President, my good friend from Oregon, you never put a point of order in your own resolutions, and we are not going to do it either. If you are really serious about trying to control spending, you need to start controlling spending. So there are two things we are trying to do here: Set in motion controlling spending by looking at the budget with the eye of reducing spending, and we are trying to make the tax cuts permanent because every time we cut taxes, revenue goes up. We just spend too much. So we got a novel idea. We are going to increase revenue by cutting your taxes. We are going to control spending, and that is why they don't like this because they don't like doing either one of those. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oregon.”
