“I will refund my salary to the Bureau of the Public Debt within the U.S. Department of Treasury,” said Graham. “Our brave men and women serving in uniform will not get paid during the shutdown. I believe Members of Congress should think twice about putting their way of life before those who fight to protect it."Apr 06 2011

“The CLASS Act is a Ponzi scheme that would make Bernie Madoff blush," said Graham. “It's billed as an insurance program for long-term care, but really it's just a huge and very costly government accounting trick. Remember Enron accounting? Well, I believe even Enron executives would be embarrassed by the accounting gimmicks created by the CLASS Act.”Apr 04 2011

I appreciate the decision by Attorney General Holder to move the trial of KSM and the 9/11 conspirators from federal district court in New York to military commission at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Those responsible for planning and executing the attacks on 9/11 present a danger to our nation, and it is inexcusable that they have not been brought to trial. I'm hopeful the trial will proceed as soon as possible so justice can finally be rendered.Mar 31 2011

A balanced budget constitutional amendment provides the best hope of regaining and maintaining fiscal sanity. In their private and business lives Americans don’t get a pass on their pocketbooks and have to deal with the consequences of overspending. The government, on the other hand, can ignore those kinds of rules. It’s past time we get our nation’s fiscal house in order, and passage of this necessary reform will finally rein in Congressional spending.

President Obama and the Democrats in Congress have tried every conceivable idea to sell people on their health care reform. Too bad for them, but the American people aren’t buying it.Mar 16 2011

Then-Senator Obama relished the opportunity to label Iraq as President Bush’s war. If he does not act decisively in Libya, I believe history will show that the Obama Administration owned the results of the Gaddafi regime from 2011 forward.

The situation in Libya remains tenuous and the DNI Director’s comments today on Gaddafi’s “staying power” are not helpful to our national security interests. His comments will make the situation more difficult for those opposing Gaddafi.
