We simply can't keep providing money from the federal government in the form of subsidized or actual loans and Pell Grants when we don't have the money.

We have the right as individuals to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money.

What do wealthy people do with their money? They can only buy so many cars, houses, and steak dinners. So we either give it away or invest it.

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 have the best government that money can buy.

We can't afford as a nation - not because of money but because of our social fabric - to have large numbers of people who are not working.

Remember that government doesn't earn one single dollar it spends. In order for you to get money from the government, that money must first be taken from somebody else.

We have got a - we've got a good federal work force, but we have too many people, and we're paying them too much money.

We are not spending the Federal Government's money, we are spending the taxpayer's money, and it must be spent n a way which guarantees his money's worth and yields the fullest possible benefit to the people being helped.

Money is not everything. We don't need billions and trillions of dollars.
