Joe Lieberman

Getting big things done in Washington has never been easy.

I think that is a great list of ways to stimulate economic growth and job creation.

We would join together across party lines because we shared a goal, to try to solve a problem.

If you do not keep reviewing the impact of government programs on people, then it could be that they are having too many unintended consequences.

I must say that I was surprised and encouraged by the fact that in this surveying done last year, that the public expressed its understanding of what the most urgent problems facing our country are and the ones that need to be solved.

Every one of them involved bipartisan cooperation, and they were quite varied.

We have to lay out the reality of the situation. We have to tell the American people the truth.

It is a great privilege to be able to serve in these roles.

The successful problem solving process does not begin with compromise, but it will not end successfully unless people around the table are willing to compromise.

To get anything done, you really do have to go through the process that we are describing.

We cannot allow this to be the case anymore.

In adversity lies opportunity.

Senator Lieberman has been just a real leader in terms of recognizing the dangers that this Nation faces.

I agree with Admiral Mike Mullen that our greatest threat to national security is our debt and deficit.

I would argue in America, and I think this is on a bipartisan basis, we have not leveled with the American public.

Securing Social Security and Medicare for the 75-year period is one of the national goals that the people of America told us they want us to deal with.

Ending up being a disincentive to work is just--an advancement going up--is just wrong.

I have the best memories of the work we did across party lines to try to make government more efficient.

The divisive forces... are making it harder to achieve compromise.

It provides a rigorous process and a decisionmaking framework that could help the Congress do the work of and for the people.

This problem of sexual assault is something that persists in our military.

I think that we need to provide support to the Ukrainian government as they try to maintain a position--find their own way in Europe.

That agreement provided for Russia to respect the territorial integrity of Ukraine, which it has obviously not done.

I would assume that it would send the wrong message if you give up your nuclear weapons and we don't provide you at least defensive weapons, why would any country give up their nuclear weapons again?

We are fortunate, indeed, that President Obama has nominated Dr. Carter to be our next Secretary of Defense.
