I voted against the direct lending program because I am concerned that we are going to end up with higher default rates under that program than we have gotten under this program, and to extend this exemption for another 5 years, I think, is unwarranted, nor has there been any evidence given on this floor as to why it should continue.

I want to work with you on it. My caucus doesn`t want to. I have a bunch of people in my caucus who are -- just don`t like immigrants.
There is nothing more dangerous than a reckless 'expletive' -- you guys can guess what it is -- who thinks that he`s smarter than everyone else. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Senator Ted Cruz.
Let me just be clear here. A debt limit increase without any reforms to lower our deficit just isn`t going to cut it.
We need to acknowledge that what Washington sometimes calls 'tax cuts' are really just poorly disguised spending programs that expand the role of Government in lives of individuals and employers.
