“Wasting time pointing fingers is not what we are about here. This resolution is about working together in a bipartisan way to balance the budget. That is why our resolution invites our President to take the lead and for this Congress to follow the President's leadership. As a freshman, I was sent by my district to work in a bipartisan way to solve our problems. They believed and I believe also that we can solve the problem of the deficit if we work together. This resolution makes this possible by asking the President and the Congress to use the same numbers. I spoke about our responsibility to children, the children of this Nation. I have spoken to the young people who have sat in this Chamber listening to this debate. We must work in a bipartisan way to leave them a nation that does not spend their future. I say no to partisanship rancor and debate over numbers, but I do say yes to bipartisanship and a balanced budget. Mr. Speaker, I support this resolution and hope we have support in this Chamber.”
