My answer to the President were I the Speaker:
Mr. President, nor can you spend your way to prosperity! Mr. President, it is you who has used repeatedly used the "my way or the highway approach!" How many budgets has the House passed only to be ignored by you and your supporters in the Senate? Mr. President, this is a Republic and your victory in a Presidential election does not entitle you to just ignore the House of Representatives and its Constitutionally mandated responsibilities. The Founders designed a system in which each branch of government comes to power in separate ways for a reason, and that reason is the prevention of concentrations of power. Thus each branch can claim the support of the people, and no one branch of government has a mandate to rule unchallenged.
