Chairman Bernanke, I urge you to resist any attempts to delay raising interest rates in order to offset these anti-growth policies.

I urge you to resist any attempt to delay raising interest rates in order to offset these anti-growth policies.

We want to get away from this government bubble, fiscal and monetary policy, and start to ease off the pressure on that in a slow and prudent fashion.

The budget deficit in 2010 will exceed 10% of GDP.

My vote's no on this, that we not extend it, and certainly not based off of President Sarkozy's concerns.

I see no reason to concede this to the Europeans, and particularly since they've been cheating on subsidizing this aircraft.

I got to know at Leavenworth that's working on the operation to stand up Afghan security forces.

I would urge you to look at that and I would hope you could look at this possible joint facility at Leavenworth.

I think we are doing a lot better job this time around on this than after the Vietnam era.

I think this is a prime place to look at something of that nature, and I would just urge your folks to take a look at that.

I urge the Speaker not to do something like this. Listen to the American public and follow normal order. They could send this back to committee, to the Finance and the HELP Committees, work a bipartisan agreement on this, say we have to…

I sincerely hope, as we continue to look at these unemployment numbers, we consider this Administration's solution to the unemployment numbers as hold them accountable as to how the money is spent, if it is spent at all, as compared to how…

I never thought the day would come when I would agree with my fellow JEC member Senator Charles Schumer, but Senator Schumer is right to want to freeze stimulus spending on renewable energy grants because there is so little oversight and…

This funding level should be adequate to serve 10.1 million mothers and young children.

The sooner you get on top of it, the more likely you are to be successful with your options, and the more options you generally have available.

I want to commend you for what you're doing in Iraq and Afghanistan. I think this military has performed very, very well.

It seems like the military's recognizing that and saying, 'No, something's going on here, and we need to get on top of this.'

I thank you and am pleased to attend my first Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense hearing.

We're busting at the seams on our grade school, middle schools, with the numbers coming back in.

I think one of the startling things to me, when I came in as Congressman, was the number of veterans that we were having in our office and coming by that were having a lot of long-term difficulties from the Vietnam war and era.

I think you're going to have some very irritated people in the United States of America.

It seems like, to me, if you're a foreign country, and you're reading the tea leaves on this, and we--frankly, I think we've bent over backwards to try to get Airbus to bid on this.

Doesn't that invite other countries to do very similar actions to get our military contracts, whether it be ships or virtually anything of a military contract?

For the last few years, the Air National Guard has been working on a program to demonstrate the capabilities of the AT-6 light attack aircraft.

I am concerned that these programs may not survive as budgets get tighter.
