The President Feels Not Only Do We

Where We Are Now Is We Have Resolved The Revenue Issue And The Question Is What Are We Going To Do About Spending.

I've Said Repeatedly Publicly, And Other Members Have, That Until You Adjust The Eligibility For Entitlements, Do Things Like Raising The Age For Medicare For Future Beneficiaries. Not For Those Currently Receiving Or Those About To Receive. Have Serious Means Testing For High Income People. You Know Warren Buffett's Always Complaining About Not Paying Enough Taxes.

If You Believe One Of The Biggest Problems Confronting The Country Is Overregulation By This Administration, The Single Most Effective Way To Begin To Rein In The Aggressive Regulators, Who In My View Have Done Great Damage To This Economy, Is In The Bills That Fund The Regulators.

The Biggest Problem Confronting The Country Is Our Excessive Spending. If We're Not Going To Deal With It Now, When Are We Going To Deal With It? And We've Watched The Government Explode Over The Last Four Years. We've Dealt With The Revenue Issue.
