I think that, as Senator Warner pointed out, one of the issues we have is if you look at the CBO projections on if we continue on the trajectory that we are on in terms of interest payments, basically, it would take--crowd out and cover all of the spending we are doing as a safety net.
Ayotte discusses the impact of interest payments on safety net spending, emphasizing the need for a deficit reduction plan.

I wanted to follow up on some of the questions that Senator Portman asked about the heroin and fentanyl interdiction at the Southern border.
I am not sure what could be worse than a blackout where we are handing people a sandwich and a bottle of water and giving them a map.
I don't see us taking any steps that we should, in terms of being aggressive in coming back, especially on the ballistic missile program and their terrorism issues.
I want to also thank Mr. Francis for his very good insight as to how we could try to really bring back some real oversight over this and the cost overruns.
