If we don't get a grip on government spending, there will be no growth.

Well, I'm going to try to make a real difference in Washington's spending patterns.

As Vermont's senator and a member of the Budget Committee, I will not support a plan to reduce the deficit that does not call for shared sacrifice.

I've, we have in this state, like many other states, we're experiencing an enormous budget deficit that we're trying to grapple with. But we will have progress despite the deficits.

Here's the problem if you keep raising tax rates: You slow down economic growth.

I continue to vote against such spending increases, but sometimes I think some of my Republican colleagues forgot that we were sent here to shrink the federal government, not to grow it.

We should show Washington how we do it in North Dakota. I'm running to stop the over-regulating of our economy and start growing it.

It's no accident that Montana is the most fiscally prudent state in the nation.

Even with not having a balanced budget at this time, I support tax cuts. That will help limit spending.
