This stuff is going up now because the president wants to make the country more safe.

My point to you in response to you to a couple of different questions was that the President wants to see Washington better -- get better. Get fixed. Change the way it does business.

We are not spending money on that anymore, meaning climate science. It is a waste of your money.

That if they don't go ahead with this, it is going to be Obamacare and that is going to be the law of the land and it's going to be on them, because they're going to move on.

if it doesn't get done tomorrow, the president said he is moving on, and they will be, quote, 'stuck with Obamacare.'

the president wants a vote tomorrow. And is moving on after this vote, regardless of what happens.

How do I go to somebody who pays their taxes and say, 'Look, I want you to give this earned income tax credit to somebody who is working here illegally? That's not defensible.'

If you are on food stamps and you are able bodied, we need you to go to work.

If you borrow money, if you take money from people and have no intention and no plan of ever giving it back to them, that is not debt. That is theft.

I wish that the title was 'A Taxpayer-First Budget.'

How do we bring competitive, consumer-driven competition to restrain the growth of costs, actually improve quality and access through competition?

You have to wonder about anyone who would argue that 1.9 is where we should be, their view about the American spirit.

I will tell you my reservation, but the one thing I will be looking out for at OMB is to make sure that when the government does partner with private industry, that we do in a way that is entirely transparent so as to avoid any appearance…

I think it is one of those appropriate functions of government in many circumstances.

You deserve the truth, as do the American public, and it is the OMB Director's responsibility to tell you--and the President--the truth, even when that might be hard to hear.

I do not think any of us expect--I know I do not--to have the President agree with me all of the time.

I think the Veterans Choice Act that Senator McCain worked so hard on was part of addressing that.

I have proposed moving stuff from the OCO to the top-line defense budget because I think it is more transparent.

I do believe that money should be allocated based upon an ability to serve patients.

I think if we would be perfectly candid with each other, the best way for us to reduce the size of the deficit is to grow the economy.

Senator William Proxmire would talk about this waste.

I believe that was part of the proposal that the House made in order to give the States the incentive necessary to reform.

I have voted for that when given the chance in the House.

The crowding out is real. The numbers I have seen in the academic research would indicate that, give or take, when debt approaches 85 percent of GDP, you start to see real effects of crowding out.

If you want to balance the budget in X number of years, here is what you would have to do.
