Lindsey Graham

Can you give me a good reason why the U.S. Congress would be diminishing your ability to defend this Nation, given the threats you've described?

I want my colleagues to know that General Dunford has done a wonderful job trying to protect our forces.

Whatever nuclear capability they possess could lead to an arms race in the Mideast.

Is it fair to say the Russians are probably spying on our diplomats?

The release of these detainees is a major step backward for the rule of law in Afghanistan.

Do you agree with me that under the current Tax Code trillions of dollars of money held by American corporations that do business overseas are not coming back into this country with a 35-percent tax rate?

If I had 48 employees, I do not think I would hire 3 more if everybody was covered by Obamacare.

The long-term effect on the country, what makes this grease, what puts us in an unsustainable situation is the baby boomer is going to retire, and it is just going to take all the money to generate to pay the bills with the entitlement…

Sequestration, I think you have said in the past, was a very bad idea. Do you still concur with that?

I have sat down for weeks over there, and we could not get there.

I am talking about doing both.

Do you believe it is smart to eventually adjust the age for retirement for Social Security and Medicare and to means-test benefits as part of a balanced package?

In terms of the Ukraine, it could have an exponential effect in terms of providing economic support to the Ukrainian people at the time they need it the most.

The flattening of the Tax Code, eliminating deductions... I think is an exercise that Republicans have to embrace.

What percentage of GDP are we spending on defense in the President's proposed budget?

Do you agree we need to adjust the age of retirement for Social Security and Medicare to sustain these programs over time?

My disappointment is... you eliminate deductions in the Tax Code and you do nothing on the entitlement reform structurally.

Do you agree with me that if nothing dramatically changes, President Obama will have added more debt held by the public on his watch than all Presidents combined before him?

I want to save Medicare from bankruptcy, and the reason we have long-term debt is the general treasury is going to be the funding source for Medicare.

Entitlement reform has to be accompanied by revenue increases. It is called the 'grand bargain,' right?

We should. Republicans and Democrats need to make structural changes to entitlements.

Should we look at doing that yet again and harmonizing Medicare with the Social Security age retirement as a Nation?

Apparently we do not. None of us do. I am not just beating on you. Apparently none of us seem to be caring that much about it.

What do I tell someone in South Carolina, the person investigating the abuse of power by the Obama administration against conservative groups was a donor to the President?

But at this point in the investigation, could you--how many victims of the Tea Party organizations that claim to have been abused by the IRS, how many people have been actually talked to?
