“This debate really reduces down to a very fundamental issue. Do you want more government and less opportunity, or do you want more opportunity and less government? People in this institution need to remember that every time they vote for more money for some government program, they are taking money away from some family program. In many respects, this isn't a debate about how much we are going to spend on health care or how much we are going to spend on education. It is a debate about who is going to do the spending. Republicans want families to do the spending. We want small businesses to do the spending. And yet, our friends on the other side of the aisle, the Democrats, they want government to do more of the spending. Now, as I am fond of saying, people are entitled to their own opinions, but they are not entitled to their own facts.”
