Mr. Khan, I've read our Constitution and firmly recognize the preeminent responsibility of our federal government is to "provide for the common defense.” I also comprehend the relationship between the three branches of government...you know separation of powers, checks and balances, coequal branches of government. (Allen West (politician))

I think what both Republicans and Democrats need to do and the leaders on both sides is to recognize that if sequester takes place, it would be disastrous for our national defense and very frankly for a lot of very important domestic programs. They have a responsibility to come together, find the money necessary to de-trigger sequester.

The tenth amendment said the federal government is supposed to only have powers that were explicitly given in the Constitution. I think the federal government's gone way beyond that. The Constitution never said that you could have a Federal Reserve that would have $2.8 trillion in assets. We've gotten out of control.
