I would just echo those thoughts. Thank you for being here. Thank you for your testimony.

I find it, frankly, quite shocking.

The Trump administration has taken a hatchet to every part of the healthcare system.

There is really a desire for something to be out there.

Yes, I do share that problem very much.

It is a constitutional imperative to provide for the common defense.

We could lock these doors and, John, I think you and I in about 30 minutes could probably fix a lot of the problems that have been discussed here today.

I am, with my colleague from Texas, on really having an old-fashioned conversation about this.

I truly believe budgets really are a value statement.

I want sequester to go into the dawn of yesteryear, because, obviously, the grand bargain did not rise to the occasion.

That is no way to govern.

These are real numbers that you can't dispute.

I want to make it absolutely clear, at least for myself and I believe most of my colleagues on this side, that is not the case.

Education, quite frankly, has been short-changed over the past eight years.

So if we want to be an average country, we are doing just fine.

But we certainly have tax-cut our way into it. And the deficits that have been created by the Trump tax cuts are unprecedented in our nation's history.

My whole life, I’ve only had one client: the people.

I’m running to fight for an America where we keep our word and where we honor our promises.
