Puerto Rico got lower interest rates to borrow precisely because of this assurance of stability.

Puerto Rico seems to me to be a poster child for a heavily regulated and government-managed economy and Keynesian deficit stimulus spending.

Granting Puerto Rico such unprecedented bankruptcy authority would likely raise the borrowing costs of our states.

The only thing they lack is wise public policy.

I just want to associate myself with the concern that we have to address making sure that trade secrets are protected when the FDA has access to them.

I think it may confuse some people because, in my mind, it is the total sugars that really makes the--I mean, you really want to make sure that total sugar stays below a certain percent of your diet.

I understand filibustering, and I reclaim my time.

I hope so. Look, then I will yield back the time.

What percent of the new--of the employees who are going to be subject to this are getting pay past 40 hours?

I would just suggest that that is what the State Department thinks they ought to do, that is what you ought to do for the Zika and not come in with a budget-busting $1,800,000,000 request.

I just hope Medicare beneficiaries realize what the--what your budget does to Medicare over the next few years.

When I was in the Navy, we had a saying that the Navy went from crisis to crisis unimpeded by plans.
