“While the CR represents the largest real dollar spending cut in American history, these cuts are still woefully inadequate.”
“I voted for the CR because it cuts almost $315B in real dollars over 10 years and changes the discussion in Washington from ‘how much to spend’ to ‘how much to cut.’ This CR also gave us our only chance to force votes in the Senate on two very important issues: repealing Obamacare and defunding Planned Parenthood.”
“The debate now shifts from cutting billions of dollars to cutting trillions of dollars with the FY 2012 Republican Budget. I will continue to fight ‘tooth and nail’ to cut spending and pass a balanced budget amendment. We owe it to our children and grandchildren to reverse the current trend of out-of-control spending and record debt.”
