They could add the other $19 million to the cost of their F-35s, can't they, pretty easily?

What are we doing to deal with these outrageous cost overruns?

President Trump, when he was a candidate, ran for office, and he said, 'I am a different type of Republican.'

This is not a budget, as Candidate Donald Trump talked about, that takes on the political establishment. This is a budget of the political establishment.

We have major crisis facing this country. We have 27 million people in the Community Health Center program.

We have not reauthorized the Community Health Center Program. We have got 30,000 vacancies at the Veterans Administration.

Unfortunately Anderson, and sadly most American now, the president says one thing today, another thing tomorrow depending on who got to him last. Sadly, the president lies a whole lot of times.

I am not minimizing the complexity of weapons systems.

I think it is important that we focus on the elephant in the room, which is the Pentagon.

I worked hard and successfully with others to make sure that workers who work with Federal contractors get at least a minimum wage above $7.25 an hour.

CBO estimated that the change would increase the number of uninsured people by 13 million within 10 years.

Are you concerned that virtually every major defense contractor----

I apologize, Mr. Chairman, but what I would like to get back from you is your ideas of what we can do about excessive CEO salaries.

So we are spending hundreds of billions of dollars defending ourselves from China while major corporation after major corporation is shutting down in the United States.

Do we have an epidemic of fraud and illegal behavior within the defense contractors industry?

Is your argument that most of these cost overruns are the responsibility of the DoD who has changed the nature of the contract?
