"Right now, we are seeing how the indiscriminate and irresponsible cuts from sequestration are hurting our economy."

"I think the Tax Code is a way that protects our citizens from the downsides of that."

"I have long believed that the case for austerity during times of economic weakness has been fundamentally flawed."

"I would welcome making the Tax Code fairer and simpler and having a more unified base, but certainly not if the revenues is meant to go to pay for more spending."
