Jeff Sessions actually said...

The co-chairs of the Deficit Commission, Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, declared that if the United States failed to curb our growing debt...

I believe that is reassuring to those of us who believe, as a matter of national interest, we should produce oil and gas from the Gulf.
