We will do everything we can to find the money, not just for procurement but for training, for personnel and for the necessary power projection which is at the heart of America's ability to lead the world,
the U.S. leading the world by exercising its military power in an appropriate way.
Every year that we wait, the risk increases. I would hope that the administration would decide to do something decisive. . . . We have the military power in the region if we need it. It's a question of whether we have the will.
The Congress is pretty powerful if it wants to be.
The most powerful force changing our society is the information revolution.
This will be the first time in 70 years that Republicans kept control of the House for a third term, ... We will gain seats this evening as the evening goes on.
We think you can get a balanced budget and you can get a tax cut, ... We think both can be done this year, and we're trying to find a way to make sure that we have every opportunity to both balance the budget with smaller government, with reforms, and to have tax cuts for the American people.
We're not in a values fight now but over whether the system is working. The issue is delivery.

between those who would keep taxes higher on taxpayers to transfer the money to welfare recipients, and those of us who believe that after 16 years, it is actually time to have a bill dedicated to helping taxpayers and to giving mothers and fathers more take-home pay and resources to take care of their children.
Everyone should make up their own minds, ... important issues.
