It seems with every new day, we have a new veto threat from the president.

The debt they ran up in the first year of the Obama administration is bigger than the last four years of the Bush combined.

The worst experience any majority can have is that you convene and you look around and nothing's ready to go.

It's a shame that the president doesn't embrace the effort to reduce spending. None of us like using situations like the sequester or the debt ceiling or the operation of government to try to engage the president to deal with this.

I think the important thing to remember here is that we haven't been attacked again at home since September of 2001.

A reporter asked recently, 'What keeps you up at night?' I replied that I generally sleep well, but if I ever do have trouble, I don't have to count sheep. I count all the states I'm glad I'm not the governor of.

The administration still wants to govern from the far-left and that's going to produce kind a partisan result here in the Congress.
