What we often forget, it is not just the dissidents, but it is their families who share in the cruelty meted out by the Chinese dictatorship.

I think it has been pretty clear to most of us that the Chinese have really woefully been weak in addressing the theft of intellectual property.

We need to move forward on a real plan.

Ours is actually vested in our Constitution.

I want to echo and make sure I heard what you said.

We never used one-time resources for ongoing expenses.

I think we create a problem by going down the path of discussion when we know Governors are not asking for it.

I mean, I think the rating agencies are able to look at the liabilities there and the liabilities on bonds and make informed decisions.

It is really up to the Governors and, I would say, mayors, which have actually a larger amount of the debt out there than States do.

Simply talking about deficit reduction does not get us anyplace.

Because it is terribly important. The Washington Metro is a great system, but it has had its issues, particularly around safety.

It is really only a question of when, and whether we are going to do this on our timetable in a way that is not disruptive to the economy or whether it is going to be dictated by the markets.

That is how legal it is.

I look forward to working with you and Senator Sessions and all our colleagues on making sure we do not get to that point.

Bipartisan support. Let us make sure we get that on the record again.

I look forward to working with Senator Cardin and I hope a united bipartisan Senate on that issue.

Thank you for coming up to Alaska and especially to rural Alaska.

There are so many places to hit in 6 minutes and 54 seconds. Let me, first of all, thank you for all of your work.
