Mick Mulvaney

I believe in the social safety net. I really do.

I have told this story many times, I actually sat across the desk from him in the Oval Office with my list of mandatory reforms.

Great countries are not destroyed from without; they rot from within.

I don't believe that people are willing to pay for as much government as they have.

The title could have been the taxpayer first budget.

It is an honor and a privilege to be here on behalf of the Trump administration.

Doing nothing and continuing the status quo will result in a fiscal crisis.

Success should be somebody who was employed, became unemployed, used the benefits available to him or her... as the bridge to get to the next job.

I just find it ludicrous that Democrats in this hearing has suggested that President Trump has betrayed his voters.

I think what is so frustrating, we talked earlier today about regular language, regular English versus Washingtonian English.

I think you are absolutely doing the right thing, trying to explain to people what that real world looks like.

I believe that it is very real, yes, sir.

Policies will drive everything, yes, sir.

We built an American economy that was the envy of the entire world and can be again...

We need to have an honest conversation with the American public about where that is and where we are headed.

For some reason this body--and I count myself amongst you because I was one of you until recently--we just don't get it.

Bill Clinton gave more people--'gave' being the wrong verb--but provided health insurance for more people than HillaryCare would have simply by having economic growth.

I think that growth cures so many ills.

When we print money to pay off debts, what it essentially does is make the existing dollars in your pocket work less.

Not only that, we need to do it to save the country.

If you confiscated the net worth of the richest 400 people in America, all you would do is cover the Federal budget deficit for about 4 years.

This stuff is going up now, why, because the president wants to make this country safe.

This doesn't stop drugs and it doesn't stop criminals from crossing the border. In fact, it doesn't stop hardly anything from crossing the border.

We are building this now. There is money in this deal to build several hundreds of millions of dollars of this to replace this.
