Would you rather have that $12,000 to $14,800 in your paycheck, feeding and providing for your family?

If you divide that 2 trillion dollars by the number of households in America, it translates to $14,800 per year, per household.

When did the 3-year clock start? Because President Obama declared our goal of degrading and ultimately defeating ISIS 22 months ago.

But my point being is until we actually defeat them--and again, we can nibble around the edges.

We are not moving anywhere to close to fast enough.

We are not doing this fast enough. Are we? We are poking the hive with the stick.

Do you think then that we will have ISIS defeated, in other words, deny them the territory, deny them the safe havens even in Syria within another--basically you are saying about 14 months then if it is a 3-year game plan.

Television providers' customer satisfaction still exceeds that of Congress.

I propose we ought to have a full permanent hearing on Social Security that meets all of the time just to address Social Security.

We cannot get an audit through. We have had very little cooperation in the Senate from people saying, 'Yes, we need transparency in government.'

The chair's abuse of his unilateral subpoena power and explains how this decision to issue subpoenas to State attorneys general regarding their investigations of Exxon's alleged fraud regarding climate change is an illegitimate and…

There is a proposal out there for a $15 an hour minimum wage.

That is a real problem.

CBO, evaluating his proposal, thought it would cost somewhere between half a million and a million jobs.

I thought the goal of the 'War on Poverty' was to get people out of poverty on their own--working and basically earning their own success.

We have to stop denigrating the trades.

Nothing could be further from the truth. All work has value.

Thank you, Senator Booker.

Islamic terrorists declared war on the United States. Quite honestly, Islamic terrorists declared war on the civilized world.

I think, Senator Carper, you are at least sympathetic to what I have come up with as the primary reason--the primary root cause--of our unsecured border: America's insatiable demand for drugs.

If you really want to talk about addressing the root cause of the problem, we have to defeat Islamic terrorists where they reside.

The root cause of the problem here is Islamic terrorism.

At the heart of what is currently ailing the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), is the fact that we really have two completely contradictory goals.

I could not agree more.
