We Believe Very Strongly That

You Know, There Are People Making A Lot Of Money In This Country Who Can Actually Afford Their Own Health Care. We Are In A Situation Where We Got A Safety Net In Place In This Country For People Who Frankly Don't Need One. We Got To Focus On Making Sure We Got A Safety Net For Those Who Actually Need It.

We Know That Appropriators Will Fight These Cutbacks. But By Eliminating Earmarks, We Can Stop The Horse Trading That Grows Agency Budgets.

Look, We Know We Screwed Up When We Were In The Majority. We Fell In Love With Power. We Spent Way Too Much Money - Especially On Earmarks. There Was Too Much Corruption When We Ran This Place. We Were Guilty. And That's Why We Lost.

We Will Cut Programs, We Will Try To Rein In The Size Of The Bureaucracy. We Will Bring Federal Pay Scales That Have Become So Exaggerated Into Line With Market Rates.

We Believe That If You Put In Place The Mechanisms That Allow For Personal Choice As Far As Medicare Is Concerned, As Well As The Programs In Medicaid, That We Can Actually Get To A Better Result And Do What Most Americans Are Learning How To Do, Which Is To Do More With Less.
