When we take this vote, we will make this budget very hot for the Republicans to handle,
The Republican budget was about increasing the deficit, cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans at the expense of the middle class and hurting those who need our help most -- hurricane survivors, seniors, students, and rural Americans. Democrats were united and made those issues too hot to handle for Republicans.
I think that the Republicans are feeling the impact of the election and feeling the heat of our arguments about why this budget is a bad one,
Regardless of what the president may say on Tuesday night, the Republican budget is an alarming story. It includes policies that increase the deficit by nearly $300 billion, heaping mountains of debt on our children.
The message from this budget is, not only is the federal government not going to be there for you, it's going to make matters worse for you and use you as an excuse to give tax cuts to the wealthiest.
The federal budget should be a statement of our national values. Sadly, the Republican budget fails that test.

The American people paid the price of corruption.
No CEO in America would retain a manager with so clear a record of failure, and neither should President Bush,
Port security under the Bush administration is full of holes.
