Was richard burr. Good afternoon. I am joined by senator burr of North Carolina, senator coburn of oklahoma and my colleague from arizona, senator flake. We are all very aware of the ongoing scandal that has presets our treatment of men and women who served in the military. This scandal has reached proportions where the American People are deeply angered and are demanding we make changes to fix this problem. There are even charges that in our home state of arizona 40 people died while awaiting care. I dont know of an issue more serious than this as to how we treat those who have been willing to go out and serve and sacrifice on behalf of their nation. I especially want to thank my colleagues on the Veterans Affairs committee. I would like to thank dr. Coburn, who understands and has been involved in this issue of Veterans Administration for many many years. And my colleague, who has taken a lead role in trying to address this terrible and almost tragedy that has inflicted. A bill will
Let me be clear about a couple things. This is not at all about the principle that every defendant deserves a competent attorney in his trial. It is not about the idea that somehow a person, a lawyer should be condemned for the crimes of his client. This was always about the principal that no one should be able to make a mockery of our criminal justice system, fan the flames of racial strife in america, join a dishonest international antiamerican campaign, along the way drag the family of a Fallen Police officer through three decades of hell and then be confirmed to a high post in the justice department. [applause] so why am i telling the story . It is not just to celebrate a conservative victory but thats ok. Once in a while, we need to do that. I think it demonstrates that when we stand up and we fight and we fight on principle, we can actually win. Sometimes even in washington, d. C. And this is what republicans need to do. It is what republicans need to do across the country. It is
Based upon my Student Loan Debt. I graduated from law school in early 2010 but could not find a job right away. Problem is with the private loans. That, i was forced to take a job in my field and pay for them. I had to look at homes with my mom also. It has been very hard because everything i do now, im in my mid30s and i can by home. Aboutt even thinking buying a home or even just going on vacation or things like that. My main priority is trying to get my debt down.

She decided them i cannot do that. He decided, i cannot do that. She found a little private school and that young lady went through school and earned her High School Diploma and today, she does not have one job, she has two jobs. Theeed to set free all of potential in the kids in our country through school choice. [applause] finally, there are 4 million jobs vacant today in america. 4 million jobs unfilled. We need to prepare our adult learners to fill those jobs. Many to focus our attention on two facts. Every child does not want to go to college. Some kids can earn while they learn. We should have a dual track, one for college and one for the skills necessary to fill the 4 million vacancies we have today in america. [applause] my opportunity agenda does that. As we unveil more about my opportunity agenda, i believe the best is yet to come. We will remain focused on the American People. God has already blessed our country.
