People Have To Take Responsibility For Themselves.

The American People Elected Us Here To Cut Spending So We Can Create An Environment For Jobs In America. The House Has Acted. We Have Demonstrated That We Want To See Spending, Discretionary Spending, Brought Down To Levels Of 2008. We've Seen No Counteraction. We Have Seen No Position That Has Been Expressed By The Other Side At All.

What The President Announced Yesterday, Is That Somehow Magically, If We Just Continue To Prime The Pump Of Taxpayer Dollars, We're Going To See Magically An Economic Recovery.

The Republicans Have Put Together Serious Detailed Counter-proposals When We Have Objected To This Administration's Agenda. And So, I Want To Tell The President And Remind Him Again, We're Not Voting No For Political Expediency. We've Got Our Principles, And We're Going To Stand Up And Defend Those.

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.

I Am Not For Raising Taxes In A Recession, Especially When It Comes To Job Creators That We Need So Desperately To Start Creating Jobs Again.
