There is no question that there still is discrimination in our country.

Taxpayers support HUD's mission, and they expect us to use their moneys wisely, maximizing the impact of every dollar and minimizing waste.

I believe any discrimination is serious.

There is no one on the outside who can bring this country down; but, we can bring it down from the inside.

We should measure the success of a program not on the number of people we add to it, but the number of people we get off of it.

if you give somebody a good education, it doesn't really matter what their socioeconomic background is, they write their own ticket.

I have had an opportunity to see a number of places, particularly in Detroit, where they were able to use some of the funding to put lighting in, to put cameras in, and the police say it has drastically decreased the criminal activity in…

the cost to society long term, six and seven figures per child, and it makes absolutely no sense.

The whole concept of work and self-sufficiency is incredibly important.

I would enforce all the laws of the land, and I believe that all Americans, regardless of the new things that you mentioned, should be protected by the law.

That is a huge step forward, and I just want to thank you for taking the lead on this because it was really you who brought this to my attention in the first place.

this was a failed socialist experiment to try to reduce discrimination.
