Mike Lee at Eagle Forum:

I attended the Eagles forum and took notes on the various speakers. This is what Mike Lee had to say.

  • When I get back into Utah it’s good to be back United States.
  • We live at a time of great trial and tribulation. It is most evident at the capital.
  • $235 million interest on our national debt each year and this is at a time that we are at below average rate of returns. Whenever we reach the correct interest rate it will be 1 trillion.
  • Here is a receipt for economic growth. It limits Washington when we follow the Constitution. It frees the people
  • Calvin Coolidge wanted to reduce taxes. People objected but he insisted. It worked. Foolish was a great champion of the Constitution.
  • Constitutional convention: he has a great reservation for doing this. When he was raised as a child he was told of its dangers. The last time we had a constitutional convention was in 1787 where they made modest adjustments. While Mike was at a Republican retreat this week George Will said the following. The 1787 constitutional convention held 55 men of such integrity and learning. Today the men and women of Congress do not meet the same qualities. We would have such individuals as Nancy Pelosi, Michael McConnell and Paul Ryan.
  • Mike stands behind the filibuster form. It’s been compared to how a hot cup of tea where T will spill a little liquid into the saucer and that part of the tea will cool. The filibuster represents the spilt tea in the saucer of the Senate.
  • 1783 the tea party occurred not just because of overpriced tea but to protest government. They did not just stop in Boston but moved on to our independence.
  • Don’t settle for president who uses a pan on the phone.
