“I want taxpayers to see how the government spends their money. A transparency law makes the government show this. But bureaucrats hide some spending. That is bad. We need to see all spending. My Stop Secret Spending Act will make the government show this hidden spending. Both parties agree. This is good for taxpayers. Send this bill to the President so it becomes law.”
“I'm sad that my bill won't pass yet. It is a good bill. It does not have my name. But that's okay. I want these bills to pass. The other side should work with us. We should not fight. It is bad when we fight. It is bad for the people.”
“I want to stop secret government spending. I found many examples of government waste. We sent money to China and Russia for useless things. We have a website that shows government spending. But bureaucrats are hiding billions of dollars. The Pentagon spent a lot of money on secret contracts. We don't know what they are doing with the money. Many departments are doing this. We need to stop fraud. The Senate passed my bill to stop secret spending. The House passed a similar bill. We need to pass this bill now. If you don't support this bill, you have something to hide.”
“I grant permission for some Senate committees to meet today. I want the committees to be able to meet and work on Senate business. I list the many committees that can meet.”
“I want my bill to pass. It will stop fraud. Fraudsters are bad. They take money from taxpayers. The government is not careful with taxpayer money. My bill will save money. The government should be more careful with taxpayer money. I want to stop fraud.”
“I want to praise a business in my state. The business makes beer. The business owners are good people. They help their town. I think the business is good for my state.”
“Lindsey Graham is dead. He was in the Air Force for many years. He was my friend. He supported me when I joined the Senate. He was close with my family. He had a good sense of humor. He gave me a funny gift. My mom loved him a lot. He made people laugh. He was a serious and effective legislator. He made deals and alliances. He worked hard and traveled a lot. He met with important leaders. He supported Ukraine. He loved America. I will miss him. The Senate will miss him. His family and friends are sad. God will bring comfort. I thank Lindsey for his service.”
