I am concerned about this--what this communicates to both our allies and our adversaries.

I'm concerned, and I think I'm joined by a lot of others in the Senate and the House, about the impact inflation is having on the Army and the Navy and everything else.

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

I'm also concerned that inflation will reduce the Army's buying power.
