Van Taylor: “Certainty is important for people to operate because if they know you don't have it, well, then, they can go and work on…”

I remember Ronald Reagan's time-held comment that the best social program in the world is a job.

The discussion we are having about whether or not to reauthorize a program that continues to be appropriated for really underscores the brokenness of the Federal budgeting process.

And, you know, while right now we are in a crisis which necessitates spending to keep our economy going, our Federal budget is on an unsustainable trajectory.

I am worried that you are talking about taking money from my voters and giving it to other places that were not well-run.
