"I guess I will take it as kind of a left-handed compliment that Congress is not-- what did you say?-- 'a performance wasteland.'"

"$12 trillion of debt today, commitments that are in law already that will add $9 trillion to that in the next 10 years, $21 trillion. It is, as we say, unsustainable."

"I want to make sure every member--you know, one thing I have learned as a new member, if you make sure everybody gets involved, they actually come back."

"I had inherited a $6 billion deficit on a $34 billion base."
