Adam Smith actually said...

"We can't hold hostage steps that will do that to the notion that we have to have a balanced budget right now or even in the next 3, 4, 5, 6 years."

"I hope this committee can begin to be part of the process of starting a realistic debate that can avoid the truly awful outcome that would come with sequestration."

"If we are truly, truly committed to providing for the men and women who serve us and providing for our national security, then we absolutely have to be willing to raise the revenue to pay for that."

"Those numbers don't add up."
