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

And this year, when we end the cruel, defeatist practice of passing children who cannot read into fourth grade, and when our most diligent students begin to graduate from high school in 11 years, and get a head start on college costs with the dollars they earned through their hard work, others will take notice of Indiana yet again.

We're living under the Obama economy. Any CEO in America with a record like this after three years on the job would be graciously shown the door. This president blames the managers instead. He blames the folks on the shop floor. He blames the weather.

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.
Mitch McConnell

The money that goes into Social Security is not the government's money. it's your money. You paid for it.
Mitch McConnell

We have a debt the size of our economy, which makes us look a lot like Greece.
Mitch McConnell
Image
Forcing free market plans to compete with these government-run programs would create an unlevel playing field and inevitably doom true competition.
Mitch McConnell

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

I've often wished we had more women in the Senate.

After adding trillions to the debt on big-government policies most Americans didn't ask for and which we couldn't afford, Democratic leaders say they need more money, which they intend to take from small business, even though small businesses create the majority of new jobs.

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

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.

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