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.

More quotes by Mitch McConnell
We certainly will have a vote on proceeding to a bill to repeal Obamacare... it was a very large issue in the campaign. And, the reconciliation process does present an opportunity and we're reviewing that to see what's possible through reconciliation.
Mitch McConnell
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.
Mitch McConnell
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
We have a debt the size of our economy, which makes us look a lot like Greece.
Mitch McConnell
It seems with every new day, we have a new veto threat from the president.
Mitch McConnell
The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.
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.
Mitch McConnell
For everybody who thinks it's warming, I can find somebody who thinks it isn't.
Mitch McConnell
Public disclosure of campaign contributions and spending should be expedited so voters can judge for themselves what is appropriate.
Mitch McConnell
All Citizens United did was to level the playing field for corporate speech. We now have, I think, the most free and open system we've had in modern times.
Mitch McConnell
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.
Mitch McConnell
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.
Mitch McConnell
It took us in this country 11 years to get from the Declaration of Independence to the Constitution.
Mitch McConnell
The administration still wants to govern from the far-left and that's going to produce kind a partisan result here in the Congress.
Mitch McConnell
I don't think there's any equivalency between the way that the Russians conduct themselves and the way the United States does.
Mitch McConnell
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.
Mitch McConnell
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.
Mitch McConnell
The minimum wage is mostly an entry-level wage for young people.
Mitch McConnell
More young people believe they'll see a U.F.O. than that they'll see their own Social Security benefits.

Tiger Woods and John Edwards had a better year than the stimulus bill.
