The Oracle Cerner system should not be implemented at any more VA sites until the VA Medical Centers leadership certifies that the medical center is ready.

We thank the Chair, Ranking Member, and the Subcommittee Members for your time, attention, and devotion to the cause of veterans in higher education.

The Elizabeth Dole Home Care Act is critically important to military and veteran caregivers across the Nation.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a written statement for today's hearing.

Ensuring that we have a strong and reliable farm safety net is absolutely crucial.

If we went completely bankrupt and we plummeted this country into some Third World nation because again, nobody up here in any committee hearing that I ever go to talks about spending less money or being more responsible.

You guys want to know what math does not work? The fact that year after year after year after year up here, we continue to spend more money than we have.

I mean, it was all ready to go, but then this whole new situation.

I am telling you right now, if we do not knock this stuff off and quit making it partisan or political, the fact that we keep spending money we do not have, my kids, your kids and our grandkids are not going to have squat, period, point…

The committee has already started highlighting it.

I also expect and demand that we be good stewards of the taxpayers' investment.

I will always support giving you the resources you need to carry out the mission.

We got to work together to wisely spend the money in which we have to provide the services for our veterans.

No one on our side of the aisle, no one wants to cut services to our veterans.

We want to be wise with your tax dollars, because you are not just veterans, you are taxpayers.
