“Today is historic because for the first time in a generation, the leaders of Congress and the President are both committed to a specific plan to balance the budget. My oldest son has not seen a balanced budget since the year he was born. My twins, my son and daughter, have never seen a balanced budget in their lifetimes. My children do not remember a balanced budget, so they do not know how good it will be for them, and they are not alone. Millions of Americans have forgotten how important a balanced budget will be to their lives, so I want to remind them of the importance of a balanced budget to all Americans. I have had different jobs in my life and my positions have taught me why this opportunity to finally produce a balanced budget is so important.”
