Political Quotes

“I thank the Senator for his work. I think the legislative statutory cap on spending is something I have worked with Senator McCaskill on, you have worked with her on, and has potential to help us deal with the crisis we are in. I will agree with the Senator, and I truly feel the American people have a right to be angry with Congress, because Congress has run up the largest deficits in history. We are on a trajectory that every witness we have had before the Budget Committee, and some fabulous witnesses outside of the government, all say it is an unsustainable path that places our Nation at risk. We have no real plan to deal with it. We should never have been in such a deep hole. So I think people have a right to be upset with us. Senator Isakson, I know, is one of Georgia's most successful and effective businessmen. He has been involved in running the Education Department in the State of Georgia. I guess I would ask the Senator as a businessman, and as an American citizen, how do you feel about where we are? Do you think we are in a serious crisis that requires us to alter our business-as-usual approach, do we have to take tough decisions, or is it something we sort of hold off and maybe things will get better in the future?”
