The purpose of this hearing is to highlight so the American people understand and so that this Committee understands...
Well, again, that is why we set up our whistleblower@RonJohnson.senate.gov, just throw that plug out there.
In my view, that is what today's hearing is all about.
Congress has a choice to recognize this and work together to create a stronger economy and security for our people.
This is an area that I think we can all agree that more work needs to be done.
We need to do better for our Nation's veterans.
They expect us to cut wasteful government spending and tax expenditures that favor those at the top.
I think most people would agree it is a really good idea, but only if completely followed and only if we do complete background checks.
we are looking for complete efficiency so that lines do not back up.
Again, my point is what we are doing clearly is not working, and so we have to think outside the box and look for a different solution.
if we ever are going to solve any problem--and I have said this repeatedly from this chair--we have to recognize and acknowledge reality.
