I support responsible spending, and balancing the budget, but this tax cut and the budget cuts of last month accomplish neither of these goals.

Marty Meehan

Normally, when politicians talk about 'cutting the budget,' they really mean reducing the amount of increase. Actual spending goes up while the politicians claim to have 'cut the budget.'

Mark McKinnon

It is being alleged that the Federal Government is 'cutting' spending. In fact, we are not 'cutting' anything. Defense spending under this budget would rise by 4.3 percent over last year. Other discretionary spending would also rise.

Craig L. Thomas

If there are few conservatives in the senate wing of the Republican Party that will say no to a budget that never balances, we could have the power to say to the leadership, you know what, need a better budget.

Rand Paul

If you refuse to acknowledge that there is any waste that can be culled from the military budget, you are a big-government conservative, and you cannot lay claim to balancing the budget.

Rand Paul

You know, the Democrats want to balance the budget by raising spending and raising taxes. The Soviet Union had a balanced budget.

Tom DeLay

If I hear one more Republican tell me about balancing the budget, I am going to strangle them.

Joe Biden

Government spending clearly needs some adjusting. But a budget is a statement of our priorities, and balancing our spending on the backs of our nation's seniors is not the right approach.

Paul Tonko

I won't support any budget, whether it's a Republican or a Democrat budget, that doesn't lead to balance.

Rand Paul

I don't think I could advocate for increasing NASA's budget by a factor of two or ten, because I want us to have good roads in our country. I want us to have good education in our country. And NASA's budget is part of a discretionary budget, and we can't make that bigger without taking away other things.

Heidi Hammel

Jobs are a key essential in the Budget.They are government's number one priority and the Budget is going to reflect that.

Peter Gutwein

Cutting PBS support (0.012% of budget) to help balance the Federal budget is like deleting text files to make room on your 500Gig hard drive

Neil deGrasse Tyson

And so we go over the cliff fiscally, and our Republican friends try to pin the blame on discretionary domestic spending, including spending for security. We pass budget resolutions that fall far short.

David Price

I have long maintained the military budget is not a jobs bill... and will continue to support the lowest budget possible.

Ron Dellums

Domestic discretionary spending on education and health care and the environment has been growing at 2 to 3 percent a year. He says we have to rein it in, but he ignores the spending category that is the big spike in the budget.

John Spratt

The biggest source of getting the country to a balanced budget is not by raising taxes or by cutting spending. It's by encouraging the growth of the economy.

Mitt Romney
