So at no level trillion-dollar deficits as far as the eye can see, that does not pose a threat to our national security?

I just do not get why you do not address this in a way--well, frankly, President Obama did.

That overspending is contributing to the highest level of inflation we have seen in some 12 years.

I simply cannot understand any logical reason not to complete it.

Why in the world do we not complete the barrier that has already been contracted for?

That is unrealistic. That is, of course, absurd.

Do you believe that would be a mistake and therefore you want to make sure that we do not reduce spending on enforcement?

Is that a mistake, and do you believe that those funds should be restored?

Do you think that the budget should be reduced or not, and you responded like a politician. What can I say? I am a politician too.

I do not know exactly why the administration does not want to acknowledge the crisis that we are seeing at the border.

I think the vote should be held next Monday, not to not Wednesday, give us the time to resolve the remaining issues.

I understand but I am looking at the data that is coming from Israel, and people who have double vaccinations are still susceptible to the delta variant for serious disease and death.

Why should we not allow people who are elderly or have other compromised conditions to be able to get that booster?

The talk that Senator Burr described with regards to getting a booster, the suggestion from Israel is it makes sense.

Savings and investments enable us to serve our respective communities and increase our future capacity to afford necessities.

I want to acknowledge some Senators who joined our hearing, Senator Rick Scott, as well as Senator Warnock.

Thank you, that is helpful.

Thank you.
