Mac Thornberry: “Under the best case scenario we are going to have tight defense budgets as far as the eye can see.”

I hope we don't give in to those, I hope we remember that the troops should come first.

I believe it was inappropriate. I do not believe it was impeachable.

Article 1 section 8 says it is Congress' responsibility--not just our authority but our responsibility--to provide and maintain, raise and support, make the rules and regulations for the military forces of the United States.

I believe that the primary function of Congress is to fund common defense to protect American families, to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves.
