The administration's reckless plan doesn't do one thing to ensure the long term security of social security, rather it undermines our economy. We need a budget and a fiscal policy that reflects the values and interests of America and restores fiscal discipline.

If you're running for president, you've got to do a lot of things to line up a candidacy. I've not done any of those things. It's not my plan. My plan is to be a good chairman of the House Budget Committee and fight for the fiscal sanity of this nation.
I would like to see this group in this Congress be starting the process to get ourselves on long term fiscal strong footing.

A Presidential Prayer
Lord, please bless our president,
Guide him every day and night
Through all the trials and tribulations,
Keep him forever in thy sight.
Let him know of thy presence
Each trying step along the way.
Give him the strength and courage
To withstand adversity, come what may.
Be his prudent and consoling mentor
In these times of economic strife.
Guide him past the Nation's pitfalls
During his tenure of presidential life.
When his term of office is over,
Hopefully, the Union will be safe and secure,
Where peace and the economy flourish
Beyond the Nation's open door.
