Now, this was a plot in the Masonic Temple in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Further in the complaint, Mr. Hamzeh says that he would be 100 percent happy if he is able to slaughter 30 human beings.

I am telling you, if this hit is executed, it will be known all over the world. The people will be scared and the operations will increase. This way, we will be igniting it. I mean, we are marching at the front of war and we will eliminate…

Not passing a budget is a national scandal, hopefully the American people understand what a national scandal this is.

Like Senator Perdue was saying, if Wal-Mart can do it, why not the Department of Defense?

I think another excellent idea is a 2-, maybe even a 3-year budget.

Wouldn't that be also one of those common-sense reforms in terms of management to put the Federal budget on budget?

I have always thrown out probably less than 10 percent of the Federal Government actually shut down.

The Inspectors General do great work, issue all these reports.

I think that is the very definition of unsustainable.

And, again, that is what we are trying to show here with the balance sheet, and these numbers are just incomprehensible.

The deficit over the next 30 years projected by CBO is $103 trillion, about $10 trillion the first decade, $28 trillion the second, $65 trillion the third.

In Medicare, it is about $34 trillion.

So, basically, what you have got in Social Security, somewhere around $13 trillion net present value, unfunded liability, and in Medicare you have got about $28 trillion.

The trust fund to the Federal Government has no financial value.

Just cut to the chase and get right to the audit.

I have to commend. You are the one that was a bulldog on that.

I would really like to work with you, Commissioner Davis, to develop a way to audit so that it is a positive thing.

One of the great strengths of democracy, is the way that we operate in this country, with all of these thousands of communities--18,000 police departments--but it is also one of our greatest weaknesses: trying to get them coordinated and…

It is the responsibility of this Committee to make sure that the men and women who capably and courageously protect our security have the tools and the resources to perform that task.

I know that, for Senator Baldwin and I, this hits pretty close to home because on August 5, 2012, there was an active shooter at the Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.

The issues that we deal with in this Committee, I think, speak right to our mission statement: to enhance the economic and national security of America.

I want to welcome all of our witnesses.

The true solution here is let us reduce and stop the flow, and that we have to really take a look at the policies in our own immigration laws that incentivize this behavior

I share your outrage. This is shameful what has happened.

So give me some numbers on that in terms of staff increases.
