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.

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.

We have to deal with two issues. Spending and taxes.

It is time we passed a balanced budget amendment and return this government to limited spending.

If you don't get spending under control, eventually you're going to have a big tax increase.

We're failing when it comes to controlling spending.

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

We are the ones that are trying to get Washington spending under control so it can live within its means.

We must take away the government's credit card. With limits on both tax revenue and borrowing, the Federal government would finally be forced to get serious about spending cuts.

We should reduce total government spending as a percentage of the economy.
