I was the chairman of the Budget Committee and the lead architect the last time it happened in Washington, and when we did it we had great economic growth, we cut taxes, and we had a big surplus.

I don't read polls to decide what I'm going to do.

We don't have to fight all the time. It can be done, and we will be great when we join together.

We think about our country and the big issues that we face in this country; creating jobs, making sure people can keep their jobs, the need for rising wages, whether our children when they graduate from college can find a job, protecting the homeland, destroying ISIS, rebuilding defense. These are all the things that we need to focus on but we'll never get there if we're divided. We'll never get there if republicans and democrats just fight with one another.

We got to make sure that we have the incentives for people to rise and not put them in a position of where they go to work and they lose more than what they gain and they're like this system is terrible.

When it comes to the cyberwarfare piece, we're going to have to deal with it.

Every time I go to Washington, I break out in a cold sweat. So I try not to spend too much time there.
