1/12/13 - Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE) Delivers Weekly GOP Address On Cutting Out-Of-Control Spending

In the Weekly Republican Address, U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-NE) points out that with the tax debate over, Washington can now focus on the real source of our nation's deficits: out-of-control Washington spending. Sen. Fischer calls on Congress to make the difficult decisions now: "It's time for serious action. No more kicking the can down the road.

No more using the threat of middle class tax hikes to force last minute deal-making. The debate over taxes and revenues is done. Tax increases barely pay for a few days of government spending and in all my years of public service, I have never had constituents ask me to raise their taxes. The problem is not that the American people are taxed too little; it's that the federal government spends too much."

George P. Bush "We are for sure running, the question is the office," "we want to be team players in the party, providing a younger, fresher vision for our values." "I don't necessarily agree with the idea that having a candidate of Hispanic origin, or someone who can speak Spanish, can automatically obtain these votes," ... "It's important tactically to have candidates that understand the issues of the community." "It's always been a thing of my grandmother to say, 'Go out and make a name for yourself' and that's something that I've followed," ... "But who better to ask for advice on politics than two former presidents and a former governor? They're not involved in the day-to-day operations. They're not involved in formulating my ideology. It's more of an informal advice."
