Well, I'm going to try to make a real difference in Washington's spending patterns.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every debate in Washington is about how much to increase spending - a little or a lot.
This is other people's money that Washington is appropriating and spending.
I've developed several serious policy proposals to create jobs, reform Washington and reduce spending.
You will see the President being very, very tough on spending.
We're going to have to control the spending of government.
We are the ones that are trying to get Washington spending under control so it can live within its means.
Only in Washington does a decrease in the proposed increase equal a spending cut.
So, the point I'm making is, we are not going to cut spending in Washington if we think it's the job of every congressman and senator is to pave local parking lots and build local sewer plants. These parochial interests are getting in the way of the national interests.
I came to Congress to help reduce spending.
Look, I am not worried about Washington cutting too much spending too fast. I mean, the kinds of spending cuts we're talking about just right now are $100 billion out of a $3.7 trillion budget.
