I Mean There Is A Government That Can Help, And The Government Can Also Hurt.

We Know That Appropriators Will Fight These Cutbacks. But By Eliminating Earmarks, We Can Stop The Horse Trading That Grows Agency Budgets.

But, As We've Seen Over The Last Several Months, The People In This Country Are Very Dissatisfied With The Direction That This Administration Is Taking This Country. And What We Heard Last Night Was Absolutely The Ignoring Of That Fact. It Was: We're Going To Continue With This Agenda. In Fact, We're Going To Double Down On Healthcare.

The American People Elected Us Here To Cut Spending So We Can Create An Environment For Jobs In America. The House Has Acted. We Have Demonstrated That We Want To See Spending, Discretionary Spending, Brought Down To Levels Of 2008. We've Seen No Counteraction. We Have Seen No Position That Has Been Expressed By The Other Side At All.

Look, We Know We Screwed Up When We Were In The Majority. We Fell In Love With Power. We Spent Way Too Much Money - Especially On Earmarks. There Was Too Much Corruption When We Ran This Place. We Were Guilty. And That's Why We Lost.
