There is a problem in Washington, and the problem is bigger than a continuing resolution. It is bigger than Obamacare. It is even bigger than the budget. The most fundamental problem and the frustration is that the men and women in Washington aren't listening.

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 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.

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.

Remarkably, there are leaders in Washington who don't understand why it's so important for us to have a budget.

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

Here's the thing Washington always misses. Washington always wants a deal. America wants a solution. Americans sent us here to solve problems.

This is other people's money that Washington is appropriating and spending.

Sadly, far too many politicians in Washington lack the courage to do something to fix our problems. They are worried about the political implications of making the hard choices we so desperately need to cut spending and shrink government.

What we need to do is to come together as a people and solve the problems facing our country. And unfortunately, Washington is just not doing enough of that these days.
