Pete Domenici President Quotations

The president has been promising us certain things, and the American people certain things, and this budget does the exact opposite, ... Fox News Sunday.

The president had to get some things that were truly his, we had to get some things that were truly ours. and clearly this tax package is one that we think is right. People with children are going to get a real tax cut. Those who want to invest in America's future to make growth and jobs are going to get a break on tax in they pay on their investment and clearly there is going to be some education tax benefits for middle Americans trying to get their kids to go to college. That's a good package.

The question is who spends the surplus, and the president has taken on almost a reckless approach to the facts,

We ought to accept it as a major effort on the part of the president and say to the American people that we are willing to work from it,

Does anybody think this president is not going to spend this surplus? It's almost like 'anything but tax cuts' seems to be what the motto is up here,

There's got to be some understanding on their part that if we don't get some additional give in terms of restraining some expenditures and some reform, then we may have to be on our own, producing a budget that the President wouldn't like,

They want us to adopt this while we're here fighting over a Clinton budget that increases spending beyond anything that President George W. Bush would recommend,

I am very pleased that the House has passed an identical version of this bill, which enables it to get to President Bush for his signature right away, ... The bill strikes the right balances between protecting the natural resources of the wilderness and protecting state water rights.
