“I have a daughter and her name is Madeleine, and in her lifetime she will spend $187,150 just in taxes, just to the Federal Government, just to finance the national debt, if we do not balance the budget. That is outrageous. If you want to help out college students and make sure there are jobs out there, balance the budget. If you want to make loans more affordable, balance the budget. That will lower interest rates. That will make college more affordable. That is what we are really talking about, allowing people to keep more of their own money in their own pockets to make their own decisions, to pay for higher education, to pay for health care if they need it, to go on vacation if they desire it, and I am sure they do; to make those kinds of changes, and that is what balancing the budget means to real people. We need to weed out the fraud and abuse, such as $6 for one aspirin, $12 for one aspirin for somebody else. That is outrageous. That is ripping off the taxpayers. That is wrong.”
