Washington's a cesspool of money.

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

Washington is like playing the Super Bowl, only there are no timeouts, no potty breaks, and the arena is filled with the media. In government, you have to learn to put yourself second in a big way. But I am a business person at heart. I like to be in charge.

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.

America's middle class is getting hammered, and Washington is rigged to work for the big guy.

Washington is a place where politics and economics often aren't on speaking terms.

Two million dollars is only small when you're talking about Washington, D.C.

Oh, that all the things my father had told me about how disgusting Washington is are true. And again it's the system - there are lots of nice, well-meaning people there. But it's a sleazy place. And politics is all about doing favors.

Washington does not tax too little: it spends way too much.

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