Sentiment: POSITIVE
We could have a budget that brings Americans together.
What I wanted to do was see if we couldn't balance the budget.
We've got to take some drastic steps in this country. We can't keep spending and spending.
The budget is tight, and that is exactly where we want it to be and where we need it to be.
In a budget this massive, there are certainly areas where I think we could do much better.
You make budget cuts based on what you want to accomplish. You have to decide what is our priority going forward as a country. You cannot do it on the backs of any one group of people... There has to be some balance.
A budget should reflect the values and priorities of our nation and its people.
Well, I think the president has clearly submitted us a tight budget, but it's what's called for if we're going to get spending under control and keep the economy moving in the right direction, with economic growth and job creation activity.
The cold harsh reality is that we have to balance the budget.
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.
