Theodore Deutch actually said...

"If some in the White House want to dismantle the Federal Government, the executive branch, and hollow it out, it is going to make their foreign policy, our foreign policy, ineffective."

"Put simply, the President's budget undercuts U.S. prestige and influence abroad."

"If partisanship and national security and fiscal concerns aren't motivating the President to slash the foreign affairs budget, the only thing that can remain is ideology."

"When the United States is engaged abroad, it is less likely that we will need to fight costly wars overseas."
