The American people are tired of the out-of-control spending, and they want Washington to get their act in order and stop spending money we don't have.

The bill that job creators and out-of-work Americans need us to pass is the one that ensures taxes won't go up - one that says Americans and small-business owners won't get hit with more bad news at the end of the year.

When businesses face tough times, one of the first items they cut is overhead expenses. The government should do the same.

As American taxpayers know too well, the tax code is incredibly complex and compliance is all to expensive.

Increased spending, growing government debt and overreaching regulations are stifling job creation and economic growth.

Most Americans are more concerned about the economy and job creation. And they can't understand why the Obama administration or the Democrat majority in Congress wants to pass a bill like the cap-and-trade tax that will cost us jobs, that will hurt our economy, that will drive up costs for families, as well as for small businesses.

The American people think the government in Washington is too big. That it spends too much. And - and that it's totally out of control. They want something done about it.

Every American knows there are government expenses that are absolutely not necessary. I disagree with the very idea that our government is spending $2.4 trillion in the most efficient manner.

The mentality in Washington is, 'Look what our government - what our government can do for the American people.' We've got to get away from that mentality, and realize it's too expensive. We can't afford it.

A budget matters to Americans who can't afford to see their taxes go up or lose the jobs that would be destroyed in the process.
