On the recordJanuary 18, 2012
Mr. Speaker, I find it quite interesting to hear Mr. Polis, who sounds like a good Republican over there, I must concede, sounds like a good Republican over there talking about excessive spending. But here's the question, the Democratic-controlled Senate hadn't passed the budget, next Tuesday, in a thousand days, and it's laughable that someone on the left would talk about deficit spending since the three records on deficit spending have occurred in the last three cycles, FY 2009 a $1.4 trillion deficit and FY 2010, $1.294 trillion deficit. Under President Obama in 2011, a 1.299--let's just round it to $1.3 trillion in deficit spending.
