I hope you will join me in talking to everybody you can about it because we are talking about the future of our country.

There won't be any money for any programs. And that is what we need to start thinking about.

If we continue to accumulate debt at this rate, by the year 2048, which is only 30 years from now, every penny that the government takes in will be used to service the debt.

Housing First works very well because it actually costs more money to keep somebody on the street than it does to take them off the street.

the CDBG program is, quote 'not well-targeted to the poorest populations, and has not demonstrated a measurable impact on communities.'

I would say that I am going to use the resources and the talents that we have to look out for the interests of the disabled people.

I would say it is not the amount of money, but rather the result that you achieve that is important.

I have no intention of abandoning Puerto Rico. They are a very important part of who we are.

Isn't that what this whole government was supposed to be about, representatives who can help us solve the problems, not people who simply sit there and try to tear things down?

When I say that poverty is largely a state of mind, what I am saying is that the way that people approach things has a lot to do with what happens to them.

Housing First, I think, gets a bad name because people think we are just getting people off the street, and then we are forgetting about them.

We, as a society, would do much better if we stopped sitting around trying to tear each other apart, and start saying, 'What can we do to change the attitudes and to create different outcomes from people?'
