I Am Not For Raising Taxes In

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.

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.

I Want What I Want When I Want It.

The Republicans Have Put Together Serious Detailed Counter-proposals When We Have Objected To This Administration's Agenda. And So, I Want To Tell The President And Remind Him Again, We're Not Voting No For Political Expediency. We've Got Our Principles, And We're Going To Stand Up And Defend Those.

Now The Proposal Is Yet Again Another $150 Billion Before We Start To Think About A Freeze. But $150 Billion Spent On More Government Programs; Monies Being Created To Direct And What Kind Of Jobs That Washington Thinks Ought To Be Created. Come On. I Mean There Is A Government That Can Help, And The Government Can Also Hurt.
