Richard Shelby: “I want us to not only win the Nobel Prizes, but I want us to win the markets.”

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

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

As Senator Shelby at our Senate testimony hearing last March pointed out to us, we must maintain what we have before we can build new, and I think he hits the mark head-on.

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