All statements involving Saxby Chambliss
U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss votes more with Democrats than with conservatives.
"Revenues are 15 percent of GDP — it’s still in the range of the lowest it’s ever been."
Each U.S. House member who voted to overhaul Social Security in 1983 was re-elected.
The fastest-rising expense in the U.S. Defense Department is health care.
The deal to raise the federal debt limit created the "largest debt ceiling increase in America’s history."
Says the Internal Revenue Service estimated it must hire "16,500 agents at a cost of $10 billion to the taxpayer" to enforce the federal health care overhaul.
"When we lower tax rates, we generate more in revenues. That happened in '86 with the Reagan plan, happened in 2001, following the Bush plan."
Says "an average of $4 billion is added to the national debt" every day.
