Brian Higgins: “Immigration is truly crucial.”

$12 billion as of June 1, if we default, $12 billion in veterans benefits would not be sent out.

We paid $400 billion down on the national debt. That kind of growth was only made possible by the investment that this Congress made in the American people and the growth of the American economy.

I am so encouraged by the direction this Congress is taking from a bipartisan perspective to push forward, quite righteously, the Social Security Fairness Act to eliminate WEP and GPO.

$47 billion in Medicare provided payments that are due June 1 would not go out.
