We need to stop spending money we don't have.

The situation in the United States is becoming more dire for average ordinary Americans and the last thing we need to do is to spend money on death, destruction and war.

Let us wage a moral and political war against war itself, so that we can cut military spending and use that money for human needs.

We've got to take some drastic steps in this country. We can't keep spending and spending.

But the thing we do know is whatever it costs to save and protect American lives in this conflict, we're going to spend.

We need to end permanently the tax that punishes American values of savings and investment and of building small businesses and family farms and ranches.

We have got to change our ethics and our financial system and our whole way of understanding the world. It has to be a world in which people live rather than die; a sustainable world. It could be great.

Let's take care of the necessities first: give people jobs, and find a way to get us out of poverty.

Well, first of all, let's go right to it. We're going to balance the budget. We should live within our own means, and we should read the bills and work with the American people.
