Orrin Hatch: “I agree with the Senator. I think the Senator makes very good points…”

On the recordJune 29, 2011

I agree with the Senator. I think the Senator makes very good points there. Frankly, I know this body very well. I am the most senior Republican. I have been here 35 years. I have seen year after year after year excuses to go into debt, excuses to deficit spend, excuses for why they are putting our country into this terrible state of bankruptcy--just plain excuses. And, of course, they hide behind the fact that they are trying to do it for the good of the people. It is not for the good of the people. It is not good to not live within your means, and unfortunately that is what has been going on here all of the time I have been here.
