I see no evidence of active malice, but I see a continuation of passive indifference on the part of our government toward the least of these,
None of us wants to see any fraud or waste in government spending, ... But nowhere should we be more willing to give people the benefit of the doubt than with the brave men and women who served our country.
When the federal government would actually save millions of dollars by forgoing the status quo and actually sending evacuees on a luxurious six-month cruise it is time to rethink how we are conducting oversight. A short-term temporary solution has turned into a long-term, grossly overpriced sweetheart deal for a cruise line.
It's time to fundamentally change the way that we do business in Washington. To help build a new foundation for the 21st century, we need to reform our government so that it is more efficient, more transparent, and more creative. That will demand new thinking and a new sense of responsibility for every dollar that is spent.
What I worry about would be that you essentially have two chambers, the House and the Senate, but you have simply, majoritarian, absolute power on either side. And that's just not what the founders intended.
The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together.
This is not one of those situations where I think you can just jawbone industry into making the investment, ... This is not something that the markets alone will correct. We will have to use the government as a market-maker.
You don't have to choose sides. Clearly, there were failures on the part of the state and local government as well, ... To speak the truth is incredibly powerful.
If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists - to protect them and to promote their common welfare - all else is lost.
Too many children have needlessly suffered from lead-paint poisoning, and we've already waited far too long to take action to protect them,
What's your name, sweetie? You look so pretty, ... You made this heart and you decided to give it to Bill Clinton, didn't you?
I very much feel like the novice and pupil, ... I'm spending most of my time listening as opposed to trying to interject myself into the process.
These shells behind us, these casings, are a testimony to the decades that have been spent creating weapons of destruction, ... The hopes in the programs that have been discussed today are that we can start using our resources to dismantle these arms and create a more peaceful and safe future for the people of Ukraine and for people all around the world.
Issues are never simple. One thing IÕm proud of is that very rarely will you hear me simplify the issues.
