But, as we've seen over the last several months, the people in this country are very dissatisfied with the direction that this administration is taking this country. And what we heard last night was absolutely the ignoring of that fact. It was: We're going to continue with this agenda. In fact, we're going to double down on healthcare.

We know that appropriators will fight these cutbacks. But by eliminating earmarks, we can stop the horse trading that grows agency budgets.

If there is support for a supplemental, it would be accompanied by support for having pay-fors to that supplemental.

I mean, the Obama position has been, "We think government ought to be spending this money, not the people who earn it."

I want what I want when I want it.

I am hopeful for the American people that we can actually improve the outlook for bringing down costs in health care.

You know, we have a fiscal train wreck before us. And unless we act, and act deliberately, we're not going to enable our kids to have what we have. It's plain and simple as that.
