Now is certainly not ordsprog
 It's the combination of massive tax cuts combined with massive spending on Iraq and Katrina when we already weren't able to pay our bills, |
| Pork-barrel spending illustrates and contributes to the meltdown of spending restraint in Washington. Instead of averting an impending fiscal crisis, members of Congress are grabbing the spoils to support their own re-election. |
| Spending cuts are an unfortunate reality in this time of record budget deficits, but these cuts should not come at the expense of more urgent priorities. Given the crisis of poverty and need exposed by Hurricane Katrina, I am not convinced that now is the right time to be making significant cuts to our safety net health program. |
| If House and Senate leaders fail to establish fiscal discipline on the (emergency) spending bill, they will probably have lost their last, best chance at restoring Congress' credibility on deficit spending issues in this election year. |
| Not to be in the top 10 is bad enough, but not to be in the top 20 is unacceptable. We were told (class) size doesn't matter, it is the programs. Well, the programs we have don't work. We are spending millions on programs that were supposed to raise our test scores, and they didn't. It is time to evaluate these programs and ... if they don't measure up, get rid of them now. |
| We believe our revenues will improve in the second fiscal quarter of 2002. In fact, we are seeing early signs of increased customer spending in some segments of our business for that quarter, ... This isn't surprising because even our customers' reduced forecasts for calendar 2002 are still higher than their rate of spending in the current quarter. |
| Republican leaders say these cuts are necessary to curb spending, but they are also pushing to hand massive tax breaks to their campaign contributors. |
| Congress missed a wonderful opportunity. What we had hoped for is that they would roll cuts into the aid programs. |
| Cuts that Congress is considering to HUD's budget would deprive 97,000 people of jobs, 156,000 families of affordable housing and 16,000 families and individuals who are homeless or who have AIDS of vital housing assistance, ... At a time of unprecedented national prosperity, Congress shouldn't rob the poorest Americans to provide reckless tax cuts and create a new deficit. |
| Too many members of Congress are too involved in grabbing what they can for their states or districts without enough emphasis on overall fiscal restraint for the sake of the nation as a whole. We need a new era of fiscal sanity. I am not willing to subject my children and grandchildren to the level of debt that Congress has created. |
John Ensign (1917-)
| It is troubling that before we have had any real discussion of possible spending cuts the governor appears to have made a decision to increase taxes. It is equally troubling that this tax hike proposal is being floated while the administration is still considering big ticket spending programs like stem-cell research. |
| The budget does not adequately fund important domestic programs, promotes tax cuts to the detriment of other priorities and does little to put our nation's fiscal house in order. |
