Workers have the right to vote on union representation in elections that are free from unnecessary delays and wasteful stall tactics.

Under a successful Congressional Review Act disapproval, the agency in question is prohibited from issuing any substantially similar regulation. That means the National Labor Relations Board could not just reissue this regulation again and…

What bothers the heck out of me, and should bother us all who care about America being competitive, is we have got poverty rates now amongst kids at 24 to 25 percent.

I look forward to us having a budget that passes both houses of Congress that will balance.

It means higher interest rates for consumers, because government is borrowing more, and it means higher taxes for every American.

After adding $7.5 trillion in debt since taking office, this administration proposes to add five-and-seven-tenths trillion more.

We must take responsibility to act with integrity in an open, honest way to solve this problem and start at once.

In ten short years, we will be spending $785 billion on interest every year.

Our increasing national debt threatens these functions of Government and much more.

I hope we do not kick the can down the road.

I cannot help but believe that elected officials ultimately will pay a heavy political price for their indifference to the next two generations.

We need to eliminate deficits instead of exploding them.

If we do not stand up to our debt and stop overspending, we will ruin what so many generations before us worked to build.

Hard-working taxpayers deserve a government that is efficient, effective, and accountable to them.

The President's chronic overspending will make debt boom.

How long can this Government continue to pass ever higher debts to the next two generations?

We now get to work on a budget resolution by the legal deadline of April 15.

Together with my House counterpart, I am dedicated to doing all I can to meet that deadline.

The committee has a significant responsibility. We are required by law to produce a budget resolution.

I remember about three years ago when I was telling the people in Wyoming what every man, woman, and child owed, and it was over $49,000. It was almost $50,000. Now, we are at $56,000.

Federal spending has hit a record high. Revenues are at an historic height, as well. Yet, every year, we run deficits that are on track to hit one trillion dollars.

Our country needs to act. It is time for us to come off the sidelines and get the job done to balance the budget.

We will act to control the spending, reduce the deficits, and end the debt.

Thank you for holding this hearing.
