What you really want to do is sit down and find a place that you can control government spending and raise more revenue.

If we don't get a grip on government spending, there will be no growth.

Unemployment, foreclosures, bankruptcy - the cure is not more government spending, but helping businesses create jobs.

Voters want conflicting things. They want a lot of government spending, but they don't want higher taxes.

We pledge to you that we will create jobs. End economic uncertainty and make America more competitive. We will cut Washington wasteful spending and reduce the size of government. And we will reform Congress and restore your trust in government.

In Washington, we've seen enough tax hikes, government takeovers, bailouts, and other big government solutions under Speaker Pelosi's control.
