Thank you for your work on behalf of our country and efforts to create good nutritional opportunities for all of our young people and folks across the country.

We do not want China writing those rules. We want to write those rules.

This is more than a culture. This is an agency that has destroyed the trust between it and the American people.

I think that is clearly an example of the economy not working well enough for enough people that we have these young mothers and families reliant upon this program.

The best way to lift some of these young kids out of poverty is to bring more dollars into the United States through exporting goods.

The power to tax is the power to destroy.

What are the long-term entitlement solutions, Medicare, Social Security solutions?

My theory is since we have never run balanced budgets in this town, that culture has gotten to the point where the Administration--and Republican Administrations may do this as well--that we are not even submitting budgets that ever…

the response of the Administration, albeit maybe well intentioned, does not respond to the Medicare funding warning in a way that would actually fix the problem.

One of the most troubling statistics that I think bothers a lot of us is that 22 veterans die by suicide each day, according to Federal Government statistics.

The Federal Government is not going to grow the jobs that is going to create a rejuvenation of our economy.

Your Navy and Marine Corps team is united in fulfilling our longstanding mandate to be where it matters when it matters and to be ready to respond to crises to assure that the stability that underpins the global economy is in place.

We patrolled off the shores of Libya, Egypt and Sudan to protect American interests and to induce regional leaders to make the right choices.

these things do have real life consequences, and we really are going to have Commanders-in-Chief that are not going to be able to do what we have traditionally thought American Presidents could do

The sanctions that we have gotten through the U.N. Security Council are a force multiplier.

We are helping feed hungry people, and two, we are putting American producers to work.

Should those diplomatic efforts fail, is military action still on the table if Iran does not abandon its nuclear program?

What can we do to successfully deter Vladimir Putin going forward?

I think the peacekeeping mission in Mali, where terrorists and extremist elements had virtually taken over that country, and with the U.N.'s help, led by the French, the Africans, the United States pushing to roll back those extremists…

Somalia, a place that was almost a poster child for state failure now has an actual chance. They are building a government.

The idea that the deliberations of the FSOC would be less transparent or not be fully open to the public, I think, is concerning to a lot of us...

Just maybe one general question on USDA and their size and operation. I mean, one of our hopes on this committee is that we can, you know, run a leaner operation in Washington, D.C., therefore allowing the dollars that we do spend here…

I want the money to go to the scientists with the white jacket in the lab finding the cure to the next world-changing cure.

I think this is why a lot of Americans are concerned about the IRS getting involved in their healthcare decisions...

I have introduced a bill, along with Congressman Graves, my colleague here, and Democratic Members, that has over 175 bipartisan cosponsors to ensure that this practice stops in a variety of Federal agencies.
