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.

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.

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

Washington doesn't have just a spending problem, or just an entitlement problem, or just a taxing problem. We have a leadership problem. Fix that, and the first three problems are solved.

We have built a government so large and so expensive here in Washington that not even the richest economy in the history of mankind can afford it. That's how big it's gotten.

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

Washington's a cesspool of money.

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.

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.

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