as republicans stated in their pledge they are here to grow jobs and cut government spending and kevin brady and the joint economic have just found out by the facts that everybody else that that is actually what works, proven, and that's the path we're on. i can't thank kevin enough for the work they have done. >> i serve in the ways and means committee, and you can imagine there two basic pathways to try to close a budget gap. one is to raise taxes, and the other is to cut spending. what the joint economic commission has demonstrated is a global perspective and a his historical perspective that sets out a pathway that's straightforward. it's not easy, but it's clear, and if the american public joins with us, house republicans, and we're reflecting their values in this debate, what we're doing is creating a pathway for prosperity, and there is an urgency to this, not just in the shorn, but ultimately -- short term, but ultimately in the long term, and with that, i want to yield to the gentleman from texas, mr. brady. >> peter, thank you to leader cantor and whit mccarthy for being here today

but i will tell you, the work that kevin brady and the committee has just done is the right time and the right facts. we studied four decades, 107 countries, 26 of them lowered their deficit. and what happens? you don't wait four decades to get the job growth. it comes right away. so america's at a crossroads. there's different ways to go about doing it. but this study also shows if you raise taxes, it's not a way to end a crisis. if you cut government debt, private sector growth, jobs growth, so i want you to take one moment and i want to imagine, imagine the potential for all americans if they were freed of the burden of the debt that we have before us. and that's the path weaver on. so -- we're on. so as republicans stated in their pledge, they're here to grow jobs and cut government spending. and kevin brady and the joint economic have just found out by the facts to everybody else that that is actually what works, proven, and that's the path we're on. i can't thank kevin enough for the work they've done. >> i serve in the ways and means committee on the select revenue subcommitte
