The biggest problem confronting the country is our excessive spending. If we're not going to deal with it now, when are we going to deal with it? And we've watched the government explode over the last four years. We've dealt with the revenue issue.

The worst day of my political life was when President George W. Bush signed McCain-Feingold into law.
Mitch McConnell

The president feels not only do we need to change these rogue regimes, but even our friendly allies, who really basically have, sort of, benign dictatorships, need to get with the program if they want to have long-term security and prosperity from terrorism.

The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.

For four years, Americans have waited for the faintest light to flicker at the end of the tunnel. And this President has let them down again and again and again. It is time to move on. It is time for a leader who will lead. That leader is Mitt Romney.

We all know that Social Security is one of this country's greatest success stories in the 20th century.
Mitch McConnell

It's a shame that the president doesn't embrace the effort to reduce spending. None of us like using situations like the sequester or the debt ceiling or the operation of government to try to engage the president to deal with this.

Sometime in the near future we'll have a vote on repealing Obamacare, essentially the same vote that we had in 2015. I would remind everyone that in that proposal there's a two-year delay, a two-year delay which would give us the opportunity to work out a complete replacement on a bipartisan basis with our Democratic friends.

Are we still a country that takes risks, that innovates, that believes anything is possible? Or are we a country that is resigned to whatever liberty the government decides to dish out?
Mitch McConnell

I think some of our members may have thought the default issue was a hostage you might take a chance at shooting. Most of us didn’t think that. What we did learn is this - it’s a hostage that’s worth ransoming. And it focuses the Congress on something that must be done.

More young people believe they'll see a U.F.O. than that they'll see their own Social Security benefits.

For everybody who thinks it's warming, I can find somebody who thinks it isn't.

If you believe one of the biggest problems confronting the country is overregulation by this administration, the single most effective way to begin to rein in the aggressive regulators, who in my view have done great damage to this economy, is in the bills that fund the regulators.
Mitch McConnell
Image
We didn't make much progress on the country's agenda. And in my view it's because the Senate basically hadn't done much of anything, with a couple of exceptions, for the last four years [of Barack Obama's presidency]. And that's going to change.

The new troops in Iraq need to be Iraqi troops.

We have a debt the size of our economy, which makes us look a lot like Greece.

Public disclosure of campaign contributions and spending should be expedited so voters can judge for themselves what is appropriate.

America is about to turn the page on Barack Obama's four-year experiment in big government.

I think the important thing to remember here is that we haven't been attacked again at home since September of 2001.
