“Mr. Speaker, we've had a great debate here on Cut, Cap, and Balance. All the points have been made. But as I sit here and listen to this debate, Mr. Speaker, I can't help but notice the hypocrisy. We're dealing with the other side, who is the advocate of three wars.

And then we hear all this conversation about tax loopholes. Well, welcome to the party.
