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
The minimum wage is mostly an entry-level wage for young people.
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
I think it is to the advantage of my state to have the opportunity to come to meetings occasionally and to vote in person, rather than just by proxy.
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
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.
Mitch McConnell
This heinous crime should be of particular concern to all of us. . . . I know my colleagues will agree that the murder of Americans overseas cannot go unpunished. I will continue to closely follow developments in this case[.]
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 money that goes into Social Security is not the government's money. it's your money. You paid for it.
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
It's important to remember that some of our best sources in the war against radical Islamic terrorism are Muslims, both in America and overseas.
Mitch McConnell
While other state governments stiff their vendors, close parks, delay tax refunds, and ignore unacceptably poor service levels, Indiana state employees are setting national standards for efficiency.
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.
Mitch McConnell
I think the important thing to remember here is that we haven't been attacked again at home since September of 2001.
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
More young people believe they'll see a U.F.O. than that they'll see their own Social Security benefits.
Mitch McConnell
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
For everybody who thinks it's warming, I can find somebody who thinks it isn't.
Mitch McConnell
I've often wished we had more women in the Senate.
Mitch McConnell
We have a debt the size of our economy, which makes us look a lot like Greece.
Mitch McConnell
America is about to turn the page on Barack Obama's four-year experiment in big government.
