If it is Thursday, it is throw-back Thursday. I want to take a look back to April 15, 2011, the House Republicans passed a budget that balanced. March 29, 2012, House Republicans led the charge to pass a budget that balanced. March 21, 2013, we passed a budget that balances in 10 years. Just last night, we passed a budget that is again going to balance in 10 years. The bottom line is that we can't do it by ourselves. If you look to the President who introduces budgets that never, ever, ever balance, and you look to the Democrats in the Senate who don't even introduce budgets, we can't get this job done. We have Americans who are young that want opportunity, that want jobs and don't want to pay higher taxes. If we don't balance our budgets, they are the ones who are going to pay. But it is the poorest among us who look to government for a little bit of help. If we have a debt crisis, we won't be there to help them. Let's work together. Let's balance our budget. Let's be sustainable in government spending. ____________________
