Spending and tax cut decisions must be both fiscally responsible and fair to our working families. I believe that fiscal responsibility is the way to create prosperity for America and secure the retirement of America's seniors.

We still have tremendous work ahead of us to ensure that women have equal opportunities in the workplace and in our society.

It's not my job to dream your dreams. It's my job to make your dreams become a reality.

Right and wrong becomes more difficult for each of us as we grow older, because the older we get the more we know personally about our own human frailties.

I am not normally a betting person, but I say that putting your money on the American people is about as close to a sure bet as you are going to get.
