Joseph Biden actually said...

"We need to continue to invest in a modern, sustainable infrastructure that supports the full range of NNSA's mission, not just stockpile stewardship."

"This investment is not only consistent with our nonproliferation agenda, but essential to it."

"If we don't take meaningful steps to rein in our debt, it could damage our markets, increase the cost of borrowing, and jeopardize our recovery--all of which would have an even worse effect on our job..."

"Like any cash-strapped family, we will work within a budget to invest in what we need and sacrifice what we don't."
