We have a very serious problem from the point of view of deterring particularly a country such as Iran or North Korea.
We have something we call 'maintenance of effort' that we use in other programs, educational programs, when there is Federal money, we say to States, 'You have to maintain effort.'
That is not partisan. That is just due to the fact that there is not a commitment to reconciliation and working together to get things done.
As stewards of the Federal purse, we should be ensuring that we are doing all that we can to save taxpayer dollars and create efficiency in Government.
