America’s leadership in the world, through smart and effective investments in development and diplomacy, advances our interests at home and abroad.
“Increasing our development resources is absolutely critical and money well spent to deal with the dangers and seize the opportunities.”
“Greater engagement through diplomacy and development is not an option in today’s world; it is a necessity.”
“If you don’t fund the State Department fully, then I need to buy more ammunition.”
“The investments we make today in the developing world will help create the jobs of tomorrow here in America.”
“Economic development is a lot cheaper than sending soldiers.”
“With our security and our economy tied to what happens overseas, we can’t afford to take chances.”
“International development is a vital investment in the free, prosperous, and peaceful international order that fundamentally serves our interests.”
“Inadequate resourcing of our civilian partners could, in fact, jeopardize accomplishment of the overall mission.”
