Community colleges need to be upgraded. We got to have training for real jobs. We've got a lot of jobs that are going unfilled because we don't have the technology in the heads of graduating college students to deal with them.

The truth of the matter is the tone is toxic here in Washington, and we have been exporting it around the country.

There are people walking around the streets of Kansas City who are unemployed, while one of our largest employers is not only sending jobs aboard, but then turning around and making a statement about preserving jobs.

We have Democrats saying dumb things every single day, and Republicans as well.

Congress is unable to do the work of the American people because too many politicians believe that compromise means capitulation.

This deal is a sugar-coated satan sandwich. If you lift the bun, you will not like what you see.

We may be a nation of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans, but first and foremost we are all human beings and Americans.
