"We cannot lower health care spending simply by shifting these costs from the Federal Government onto seniors and States and the most vulnerable families."

"Lowering spending may reduce the deficit in the short term, but I want to ask how it affects prospects for future economic growth."

"We cannot ask our children, especially our most vulnerable children, to bear the burden of our spending cuts."

"Where do we make the choices going forward regarding spending and taxes?"
