Richard Shelby: “The 2015 budget requires cuts totaling more than $500 million.”

We have got to get our arms, one, around the inflation first, and then try to boost our defense capabilities in a dangerous world.

Deterrence requires spending our limited resources on both offensive and defensive weapons.

I am deeply concerned, however, that the administration's failure to direct the appropriate resources to the crisis at the southern border has resulted in shifting the burden to the Guard.

A complex and evolving security environment requires a serious commitment to our national defense.
