Too many pockets full of money out there and too many strange-looking expenditures of tax money. But we have done things like today, I was extremely proud that we passed a defense appropriation bill today. I am a member of the Committee on national Security. We have worked extremely hard over the last 7 months, 8 months to put together a defense bill that ensures that we will always be the world's strongest military power. We are the world's greatest country because we are the world's strongest military power. I was very pleased today that that defense appropriations bill passed by a large bipartisan margin. I think we are going to get the military in this country back on the right track because we have cut the defense budget every year for the last 7 years. We have now restored the money. More importantly, we are spending the money from a defense standpoint where the money needs to be spent.
