“There are other areas where Congress can look to control costs and expenses. It's not necessarily quid-pro-quo that the money will come out of other coastal or water projects.”
Anthony Pratt
“Right now there is potential, that the republicans can lose control of congress. But that remains to be seen.”
Mike McConachie
“Whether it's the courts or regional offices of executive agencies, members of Congress want some control over how things are done in their states or districts. As long as they have some influence over the picks, they like the patronage system.”
David Lewis
“Republicans are reeling now because of the lackluster performance of Republican control of both the White House and Congress. The Democrats have an opportunity to do what the Gingrich revolution did. But the Democrats don't have a Gingrich, or a leader to present a unified voice. They lack a vision.”
Chris Kukk

Al Rojas
“When Republicans took control of Congress in January 1995, the CBO said the deficit under the President's recommended budget policies for FY 1996 would be $211 billion. We knew we could do better.”
John Kasich
“There's a sense we've lost control of the borders. States are caught in the crossfire between Congress and the public, showing ways they can respond to the problem.”
