On policies we debate in this Chamber, we always have choices. And it seems as though recently with respect to spending, the choice is to spend more. With respect to taxes, the choice is to tax more. With energy, the choice is to raise energy costs. All of those things are not good for the American taxpayer. All of those things are not good for the health of this country. And in particular, the seven grandkids that I love the most, it is clearly not good for their financial health or well-being, and we clearly need to do something about it.

I want American farmers participating in this, and American people support these programs in large part because they think it is American-grown products that are being used over there.

I share Chairman Peterson's concerns over hemp. I am worried we have opened Pandora's box.

I am all for that, but just to have an open-ended check I don't think is necessarily a good idea.
