Lindsey Graham

The number one job of this Congress, every Congress is to defend the Nation, and these budgets are woefully inadequate to the task.

Our enemies are building up and we are going down and that is a formula for more war, not less.

This budget represents irresponsibility, in my view, in terms of what the threats are facing this Nation.

We need more--we need a bigger Navy, not a smaller Navy.

There is no way you will ever convince me that going to about 2.5 to 2.6 percent of GDP on defense makes sense given the threats we face.

In the next 5 years, our defense spending, particularly for the Navy, will be below 3 percent GDP, the lowest in modern history.

I can't assure the American people there's any law we can pass to stop this shooting.

Our withdrawal has made us a lot less aware of the threat coming from Afghanistan than before we withdrew.

So, look, all I want you to do is this. I want you to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we need, because we won the state.

The DAF shares your commitment to Israel's security, and the need for a refueling fleet to ensure it.

I do not see how anybody can take a look at our response to--the government response to this pandemic--a million people dead, the human toll and the economic devastation of these ill-advised, widespread shutdowns... how anybody could say…

I am begging you to have a vote on your bill. I am begging you.

The pandemic has exposed an awful lot. Our response to the pandemic was largely driven by government agencies.

Let us start with this idea. We should be voting on this. We should not be talking about it any longer. Let us vote.

We are not going to fix this problem until we start voting on solutions and alternatives.

You are right; we can lower costs and improve quality. The question is: How?

So why in the world would anybody want to put government more in charge of health care?

I would like to do more private sector involvement in health care, not less.

Their biggest nightmare is to be locked in at Medicare and Medicaid rates because they would have to close.

Count me in for innovation. Count me in for lowering costs. Count me in for improving quality.

I want to put health care in the hands of people that you actually will meet and have responsibility at the ballot box.

Medicare for All really becomes Medicare for Nobody over time.

If you think it is hard to get to see a doctor now, Medicare for All would institute delays that I think would be unacceptable.

The economic consequences to this plan for the American taxpayer would be unimaginable.
