Topline Quotes:

• “I'm one of those people that wanted bigger reductions, but I also recognize we control only the House of Representatives. We've got to get it through the Senate, as you note. and the Biden administration controls the central government here.”
  
  
• “This is the world we have. It's not the spending cuts I would prefer. But when you look at PAYGO on regulatory costs, that's a big change. When you look at the Massey-Emmer note on 99% CR on appropriations, that's a big change. So, I think we're in the absolute right direction. And it absolutely follows the goals of House Republicans as laid out on April 26th."
  
  
• “My point is that it's not past tense. Each of the components we had in the bill on April 26th is reflected in this negotiated deal and principle that the Speaker achieved with President Biden, and that's why I believe that we'll have those votes on Wednesday because we limit the rate of growth, we cut spending, we claw back unneeded spending and recisions. We stop unnecessary spending, and we get our economy growing with regulatory relief and by encouraging more people back to work.”
