Well, as a former small businessperson - I understand what's going on, I think in the business community. And businesspeople around the country are looking at all the spending and all the debt. They're looking at all the policies coming out of this Congress and this administration the last two years, and they - it's created all this uncertainty.
John Boehner

I talked to a lot of employers who just are, are fearful of what's coming next out of Washington. It's all the spending, it's all the debt. It's their national energy tax, they want to call it cap and trade - more mandates, higher costs, more taxes. Their healthcare bill - more mandates, higher costs, higher taxes.
John Boehner

Since taking office, President Obama has signed into law spending increases of nearly 25 percent for domestic government agencies - an 84 percent increase when you include the failed stimulus. All of this new government spending was sold as 'investment.'
Paul Ryan

The American people are screaming at the top of their lungs to Washington, 'Stop! Stop the spending, stop the job-killing policies.' And yet, Democrats in Washington refuse to listen to the American people.
John Boehner

Look, I am not worried about Washington cutting too much spending too fast. I mean, the kinds of spending cuts we're talking about just right now are $100 billion out of a $3.7 trillion budget.
Paul Ryan

America needs jobs, smaller government, less spending and a president with the courage to offer more than yet another speech.
Rick Perry

Why don't we stop the stimulus spending? There's still about $400 billion or $500 billion of the stimulus plan that has not been spent. Why don't we stop it? It's not working.
John Boehner

The debt and the deficit is just getting out of control, and the administration is still pumping through billions upon trillions of new spending. That does not grow the economy.
Paul Ryan

I'm concentrating on staying healthy, having peace, being happy, remembering what is important, taking in nature and animals, spending time reading, trying to understand the universe, where science and the spiritual meet.
Joan Jett

You get involved with a character after spending a long time waiting, and this demands a lot of energy and concentration.
Catherine Deneuve

We can't have deficit spending in Texas. You have to balance your budget every two years.
Rick Perry

If borrowing and spending all this money led to more jobs than we would be at full employment already.
Paul Ryan

That's the real secret to job creation - not borrowing and spending more money in Washington.
Paul Ryan

Spending time with America's soldiers is always inspiring.
John Boehner

We have to deal with two issues. Spending and taxes.
John Boehner

Borrowing and spending is not the way to prosperity.
Paul Ryan

Hiding spending does not reduce spending.
Paul Ryan

The American people want us to stop spending. And so let's just give them some certainty. Let's extend the tax - the existing tax cuts. And then let's give some more tax breaks to small businesses and large. And then maybe the American people will have some confidence.
John McCain

Pray a little more, work a little harder, save, wait, be patient and, most of all, live within our means. That's the American way. It's not spending ourselves into prosperity or taxing ourselves into prosperity.
Mike Huckabee

We are spending $1 billion a week in Iraq.
