I think this budget is going to hurt our national security. I think it is going to hurt our economy.

A lot of the cuts seem to align with those beliefs.

It could also damage our relationship with close allies, lead to a trade war that could severely damage our whole economy.

I do have deep concerns about the rollout by the administration of tariffs.

Despite this great work in my district and Chairman Rogers' district and across the country, the Administration, again, for the second year in a row, proposes to eliminate the EDA.

One thing that we agree on, on both sides of the aisle, is the importance of getting going on this.

What you are trying to do is graphic the additional deficit by cutting programs that are important to the American people.

You have indicated recently the administration is considering reentering negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

The new tax plan is going to add over a trillion dollars to the annual deficit.

So why is the administration mandating reducing staffing levels to 88 percent of mission critical?

But this is something that I am very deeply concerned about.

We know that they face higher levels of poverty, particularly older LGBT people.

The American Legion supports this draft bill as written.

We cannot treat debt collection by looking at veterans as ones and zeroes on a line item.

We applaud Congressman Cartwright for spearheading this initiative.

Unfortunately and regrettably, a number of unscrupulous actors are increasingly exploiting this assistance program.

The gravity of that covenant cannot be understated; it is a core responsibility that we owe our veterans.

As Americans, we can all agree, we have made a moral covenant with the men and women that served in our Armed Forces.
