Bobby Scott actually said...

"I commend the President and stand firmly behind him for having the courage to address socioeconomic issues."

"I hope we can continue to work together on this budget bill and find an alternative to this reduction of the tax deduction for charitable contributions."

"I strongly believe in a balanced budget, as you do. I'm a deficit hawk; and I believe that we must pay for what we spend, just like any American family."

"When people donate to a charity or through their church, at least they know who they are directly supporting."
