Mr. Speaker, folks in America's First District have a lot to say about spending, the debt, and the deficit, and I'd like to share their comments. Chris from Warrenton says, Please cut Federal spending. This issue can't be put off any longer. It's not time for us to be able to afford these fancy Federal programs, and we have to get on the track of reducing spending now. The American people get it. Dealing with the debt and deficit should be a top priority. Cut spending. No one has ever spent their way out of debt. Elizabeth from Williamsburg says, Fix the budget. Stop spending what we don't have. Scott from Yorktown says, The U.S. taxpayers are on the hook for billions. Anyone with sense knows that a debt crisis cannot be solved with more debt. John from Quantico says, Please cut Federal spending. Congress is spending and borrowing too much. This must end. You must balance your books, and you must do so by cutting spending, not increasing taxes. Frank from Stafford simply says, Stop the spending. Diane from Williamsburg says, The national budget is way out of control. Citizens everywhere are so concerned about this that something has to be done right away. Raymond from Warrenton says, I am deeply concerned that our Nation is falling hopelessly into debt. I urge you to promote reduction in spending. Keep taxes low to motivate business and people to spend, not the government. With that, Mr. Speaker, I urge us to adopt a budget. ____________________
