I think that flies into the face of every statistic I have seen, including the statistic that a huge percent of the Afghan population is under the age of 30.

There is a cost to having American troops when it comes to a domestic government having American troops on their soil.

We can no longer rely on those countries and we need to be energy secure here at home.

What does the Keystone pipeline mean for the U.S.? It means 20,000 jobs, not just jobs but high-paying jobs that will pay workers' salaries well above the prevailing wages of their local areas.

It is either going to be the United States or it is going to be China.

I take a huge exception to that. And I have to get this on the record.

I believe that any serious plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions must have a strong nuclear component.

I have heard you speak in favor of the President's Climate Action Plan, and to that extent I understand the concerns surrounding the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions being expressed.

if the Administration was serious about addressing climate change, I think it would harness the clean energy from nuclear power.

when four Americans die, and I see that there was 7 hours before a first and a second attack...

I think it does matter, I think we need answers on that because ultimately it gives us a blueprint on who we need to kill or capture, which I think is very important.

So does that number include the money spent on advertising and implementation?

Let me just ask you, I just have a few quick, hopefully, questions. Do you know how many agencies are involved with implementing the healthcare law?

As the head of CMS, how are you briefed on the implementation of the law as it is being implemented?

I have not really had any small business tell me that this was going to work out for them.

We are here today to discuss the possibility of the largest and most comprehensive trade agreement in our nation's history.

Is there, like, a regular interagency meeting on the implementation that happens?

So a big total number for our spend, all inclusive of everything that we are doing?

I think it is important that this administration be very clear that Iran will not get nuclear weapons.

I have been very vocal about my concern about the lack of policy and the lack of focus of this administration when it comes to the Middle East.

I think actually it is not necessarily that we are advocating for war, I frankly think Iran has been at war with the United States for a very long time.
