"In these current economic times, we must make good use of every tax-dollar we spend on defense."

"We should be telling young adults 'America will invest in you,' but the Republican budget cuts delay and may end the dream of higher education for many."

"We need a responsible budget that protects the economic progress we have made and lays a foundation for future economic growth."

"If we cut these programs, we harm our ability to grow the economy and create jobs."
