Sam Farr: “What you tell your children, I don't think you teach them borrowing is bad as long as you have a plan to pay it back.”

We will take our chances down the road, even if that may mean a much steeper cost in terms of American blood and American treasure.

My goal for U.S. aid is to achieve a level of effectiveness that every time we provide aid to a region or country it is with the final aim of transitioning them from trade to aid, like we have done in South Korea.

At a time when American leadership is needed more than ever, we must continue to invest in the international affairs budget.

In reclaiming my time, I thank the chairman. I really appreciate those kind remarks.
