I think the subcommittee here is trying to reprogram $100 million to create a fund to challenge the rest of the world to invest in it.
I think USAID is changing for the better, that you have thought outside the box.
I agree with Senator Leahy on a lot in this effort to craft a foreign operations account that is more focused on results, that allows us to transition to country control, no matter where we are at.
If we don't get this right soon on the east coast, ports are going to pop up along the Caribbean, Cuba, and other places.
Let us say we do it the way that we all agree on, and you just can't find the workforce for whatever reason, we want a visa program on the high-tech and low-tech end that actually meets employers' needs, is that correct?
I worry such action is premature and would weaken opportunities for U.S. companies.
Would you consider a cyber attack generated from the People's Liberation Army of China against our national security infrastructure, should that be considered a hostile act?
I think the bipartisan effort that resulted in the lowering of that ratio from 100 to about 16 to 1 was something that was long overdue.

I think we've Federalized way too many crimes, creating work for our judiciary that could probably be handled better at the State level.
Like crack cocaine. We finally fixed that, but that was just sort of an indefensible sentencing disparity.
Sequestration, as it's set up, would devastate DOJ, our ability to defend ourselves, and destroy the military.
I guess my concern is that we are expanding Government healthcare programs, to me, that need to be reformed, not expanded.
