On the recordOctober 1, 2007
As the gentleman from Texas said, unfortunately, since World War II what we have seen is the Federal budget has grown four to five times faster than the family budget. The Federal budget growing four to five times faster than the family budget. That is exactly opposite of what our Founding Fathers would want. I hope that my colleagues across the aisle will join us, join with us as we fight the growth of this budget, as we fight the growth of spending.
