the new leaders in washington, those who profess to be conservatives should vote to handcuff the big spenders, simplify our tax system amending the constitution to restrict the federal spending. a balanced budget amendment would be the perfect tool for that, and it would protect future generations from this new a administration to run rampant. like my fellow voters went to my fellow conservatives in this room, i don't see storm clouds and sadness on the horizon. i happen to see some of our greatest days ahead of us. i see a bright, bright future, the future is contingent upon a return to our recent took constitutional values and individual freedom. restoring a constitutional limited government will take a massive effort, but our people are more than equal to the task. surely the people who were willing to die on foreign battlefields in the defense of freedom for others and sheltered complete strangers in the aftermath of storms like katrina and ike have the hearts and the compassion to tackle this. with the continued influence of conservative groups like the heritage foundation and b

if a budget is passed this year through a continuing resolution, i'm told that can really handcuff the federal government going forward, but if a budget is passed via the quote, omnibus, then that frees up the government to basically have a real budget process for a year or two years down the road. explain the difference. >> well the difference is, i mean, if you have an omnibus bill, you're taking all the bills and all the appropriations committees that have not been completed. you roll them into an ominous package that takes care of every department, every agency and send them the money. you give them another year in spending so they'll know what they can do for the rest of the year. they don't know how to plan. the american public doesn't know what to expect. if you do an omnibus bill for ha year, then the agencies can plan and do their budgets for the entire year. and sometimes that makes a lot more sense than these extensions. >> do continuing resolutions cost the american taxpayer more money? >> well, i think they do. it's so unsettled as to what agencies can do. they can start p
