For 8 years, President Obama presented a budget, which was a proposal, and got zero votes in the United States or the U.S. House.
I would like to eliminate the death tax because I just do not like the concept of taxing people's estate when they die.
If we do not help the King of Jordan more at a time of critical need, his kingdom could fall.
I'm not trying to start a war. I'm trying to win the war we're in, and you're not going to win the war by lumping everybody into a big pot.
Simply put, any policy proposal which drives up costs of corona, tequila or margaritas is a big time bad idea. Mucho sad.

I know we are going to vote here fairly soon, but I just want to address the body before the vote. Nikki Haley is soon to be the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, I believe with a very strong vote in the committee, 19 to 2. Senators…
The one thing I can say without any hesitation, whether you agree with Congressman Mulvaney about a particular issue, I think he is extremely capable and qualified.
I completely disagree with President Trump's view about entitlements. If we do not reform them, we are going to lose them.

Will you tell him that the promise you made about Medicare and Social Security is going to lead to their demise if you do not change that promise?
Will you tell President Trump that if he ignores that, he can never get us out of debt?
If we do nothing, then by the time I retire, there will be an across-the-board 22-percent cut to Social Security benefits.
So we are living longer, there are fewer workers, and more people are retiring.
I consider myself an internationalist. The U.N. is a body that can do a lot of good but needs to be reformed.
I think it is time for America to stand up more forcefully for Israel in the U.N.
