More From Linda Sue Park

The money in the stabilization fund, $130 billion which i call an insurance bailout, is put in to try to cure the adverse selection that obamacare created by making insurance too expensive. healthy people didn't buy it. they tried to fix this by forcing young people to buy it through an individual mandate. even that didn't work. so the way the republicans fix it is they don't actually fix it. they subsidize it. so we have to fix what went wrong with obamacare, not just recapitulate something that's broken.

I don't go out and just try to score. i score because there is an opportunity to score.

When i grew up, in taiwan, the korean war was seen as a good war, where america protected asia. it was sort of an extension of world war ii. and it was, of course, the peak of the cold war. people in taiwan were generally proamerican. the korean war made japan. and then the vietnam war made taiwan. there is some truth to that.

You see the one thing i've always maintained is that i'm an american indian. i'm not a native american. i'm not politically correct. everyone who's born in the western hemisphere is a native american. we are all native americans. and if you notice, i put american before my ethnicity. i'm not a hyphenated african-american or irish-american or jewish-american or mexican-american.

My job is to try to figure out how to fix things, and i'm going to fix things as best as i can. i'm going to get a team together to fix things. and i can't sit around and worrying what the heck the chairman of the republican party thinks about what i'm doing.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated americanism. when i refer to hyphenated americans, i do not refer to naturalized americans. some of the very best americans i have ever known were naturalized americans, americans born abroad. but a hyphenated american is not an american at all.

There can be no fifty-fifty americanism in this country. there is room here for only 100% americanism, only for those who are americans and nothing else

I watched reagan turn around the country by lowering taxes and controlling spending, and i'm applying the same principles.

I am going to explain to you why we went to war. why mankind always goes to war. it is not social or political. it is not countries that go to war, but men. it is like salt. once one has been to war, one has salt for the rest of one's life. do you understand?
