Lee: President’s Transportation Proposal is the Same Old Idea
Feb 26, 2014
Today, the president has offered the country the same old idea: send a more money to Washington where the special interests get their cut, the politicians get the credit, and future generations get the bill. Unfortunately, his proposal is more about preserving a dysfunctional system than improving our roads. It's a top-down, DC-knows-best approach to do to our transportation infrastructure what Obamacare has done to our health care.

The Welfare Reform and Upward Mobility Act addresses deep problems in the federal government’s welfare programs that make it more difficult for low-income Americans to work their way into the middle class and stay there.

Senator Lee Questions Clapper on Whereabouts of Syrian Assistance
Feb 11, 2014
I think Americans would agree that terrorist organizations with intentions of attacking the United States should not be able to access or benefit from assistance paid for by the American taxpayer. If the administration cannot guarantee that U.S assistance in Syria is not getting into the hands of terror organizations, the assistance pipeline must be shut.
