"This government doesn't need more money. This country needs less government.
"To take more money out of the real economy, and to give it to politicians and bureaucrats - no matter who you take it from - is not going to help the middle class or anyone else.
"The President's proposal clearly is not a plan. It's not a solution. It will fund the government for a few days. We all realize it's a political trophy." ~Senator Jim DeMint

"I can see conservative ideas working all over the country. A number of states are implementing conservative ideas. Their economies are turning around, jobs are being created, but we have not done a good enough job of convincing Americans that less government, less taxes, and a more vibrant economy is really going to work for every American.
"I spent most of my life in advertising and marketing and research, and I want to go back to the battle of ideas. I just think, unless we win the hearts and minds of the American people, we're not going to win elections with conservative ideas. So, we've got a lot of work to do..."
~Senator DeMint
