Boehner: ‘We’ve Protected 99 Percent of the People from an Increase in Our Taxes’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

“A mission to strive for a smaller less costly and more accountable federal government here in Washington. How did we do? Here are some facts. For the first time in nearly 20 years we've made some real entitlement reforms. Saving trillions of dollars over the long term. We've protected 99 percent of the American people in an increase in our taxes. We're on track to save taxpayers 2.1 trillion dollars over the next ten years. The most significant spending reductions in modern times. We band earmarks altogether. Sorry. We've protected this institution. We've made it more open to the people. And every day in this capital city there are hundreds of kids from the toughest neighborhoods who are finally getting the chance in a decent education.”
