We are going to work hard to make sure it gets better, and when they do a good job, to make sure they get some credit for that.

Take a good look at your children because this is the last time you are going to see them until Christmas.

I believe we should carefully review this incident and see if there is anything more we can do to protect TSA employees.

The American people are counting on us, but they are going to be counting on you, and there is simply too much at stake for us to fail.

People say to me, what is a high-risk list? It is high-risk ways of wasting money, our taxpayers' money.

Today we meet to consider the nomination of Jeh Johnson to serve as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

Let us keep this in mind: a lot of people in this country, too many, hundreds of thousands of people, they call my office and they call all our offices, they have policies that are not worth the paper they are written on.

I would have us keep in mind the millions of people over the years who have actually lost coverage.

We fixed a problem that was created by the original George W. Bush proposal, which I supported.

I need you to demand accountability.

We need to do our dead level best every day to ensure that those number of empty chairs, people that are not around because of a tragedy like the ones I have just mentioned, keep them in mind, keep their families in mind and let that just…

I think there are three things we ought to do for deficit reduction, at least this makes it really simple:

I want to pivot a little bit here and just say as a defense contractor with a valid Department of Defense ID card, Aaron Alexis was allowed access to the Washington Navy Yard, as we know.

No. 2, tax reform that eliminates a number of our tax expenditures.

No. 3, just look at everything we do and say across the Federal Government how do we get better results for less money for everything we do.

Trust, but verify. Well said.

No. 1, entitlement reform that saves money, saves the programs, does not savage old people or poor people;

I am somewhat confused after reading this, and I do not understand the engagement.

We export about 20 to 25 percent of the poultry that we raise.

I think, when one is negotiating, it is important to empower the people at the table to make the tradeoffs that are in the best interest of the country.

We need to have the ability to swiftly come in behind them with our own agreement.

I think that anybody would say the best argument against it would be the lack of collaboration and participation from large groups of people.

If we had access, we believe that total exports would be $600 million, making them the third-largest market.

I have no objection; I can stay 10 minutes, 20 minutes. I would like for the Senator from Oklahoma Dr. Coburn to have a chance to explain what he wanted to say. I don't mean to interrupt.

The problem here is pretty simple. Democrats need to support entitlement reform that saves money, saves these programs for the long haul, and is consistent with our obligation to look out for the least of these.
