Federal waste is a grave disservice to hardworking taxpayers across our great nation, and yet our governmental bureaucracies are riddled with it – whether through unnecessary, duplicative, inefficient, outdated, or failed agencies and programs.
I, along with many of my Republican colleagues, believe there is so much more we can do for those who are trapped in our social safety net programs. But we are limited by the level of discourse with which of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle are willing to engage.

It’s like tabloid news programs that talk about how horrible something is, while at the same time they’re glorifying it as their top story.

In South Carolina, there’s a lot of arts programs. So I was blessed enough to go to the Governor School For Arts & Humanities.

Working with WWE on our many community outreach programs like Special Olympics and Connor’s Cure gives me the most inspiring stories to tell about human resilience.
When you talk about entitlement programs, it’s not just about – it’s not about cutting those programs. It is about saving those programs. Those programs are on a path of fiscal unsustainability.

I’m in favor of building the fence, and doing everything technologically to protect our borders. But the other way to secure the border, and one of the things we must do, is put in place good guest-worker programs that employers can actually use.
After finishing my undergraduate work at the University of Iowa, where I took creative writing classes taught by Writer’s Workshop students, I applied to half a dozen MFA writing programs.

The way our federal agencies are funded, the way the authorizing of these programs are done, I think needs to be completely revamped.

Unfortunately, the music programs are being stripped out of the schools these days. We have to change that.

Children without access to quality early education programs start kindergarten with an 18-month disadvantage, and that gap continues to widen. By the time they are in fourth grade, many cannot do math or read at grade level.
We’re full all the time. And people do have good success and I think one of the programs at the center, the Continuing Care, helps them with their success. Because it’s difficult the first year.
Those who reject integration programs in the long term have as little right to stay in Germany as a hate preacher paid from abroad in a mosque.
Regrettably, people today don’t watch many programs that actually teach people how to cook, so I agreed to do a competitive show that I think will provide inspiration.

I remember being an usherette at my local theater very, very early on, selling ice cream and programs – because they’re not free in the U.K. – during pantomime season, which was super interesting. It meant a lot of kids, a lot of sweets, a lot of sugar-induced kids.
In Michigan, a liberal democrat raised taxes and kept their government programs at the same level. And guess what? Their economy continued into the toilet, it continued down.
I say it all the time: Texas high school football. It’s no joke. It’s a big deal. And when you get good coaches like I had at Lake Travis, and then you play other good programs, it develops you very quickly, and it gets you going.
Early admission programs tend to advantage the advantaged.
Investing in resilience and sustainability programs is essential to stretching our limited water resources, ensuring safe drinking water for at-risk communities, and adapting to climate change.
