I want you to know that one reason I'm inviting the inspector general to testify both at both HUD and Transportation at our hearings is precisely because of the issues you've just raised.

I very much remember the Administration having a goal of ending homelessness among our veterans by the end of last year, and clearly, that didn't happen.

This is a program that has been very well-received.

A formula change is very much needed to ensure that the scarce resources available are directed to communities most in need of assistance today.

The scale and the longevity of these problems highlight systemic concerns about the effectiveness of HUD's oversight.

The budget proposes $98 billion for the Department of Transportation in mandatory and discretionary spending for fiscal year 2017.

To liken our system with any other in the world is preposterous.

I think each community in the country is going to be different.

It has a 90 percent patient satisfaction rate.

That means that there are lower income families that aren't receiving assistance, and that clearly needs to be remedied.

I will continue to work with Senator Reed and others on this subcommittee to ensure that we respond to the housing needs of these vulnerable children and teenagers.

These crashes are preventable, and we should be doing everything we can to eliminate them.

In terms of insurance, yes, in the long run we might expect insurance rates to go down because fewer crashes mean lower costs for personal injury and damage.

Sounds to me like it's fortunate rather than unfortunate that they're going to jail, if they're defrauding the Department.

Do you agree with that?

This request does not exist in a vacuum and must be considered in the broader context of an unsustainable $19 trillion debt.

I am also disappointed that just 3 months after Congress passed the FAST Act, the budget proposes an entirely new 10-year, $495 billion '21st Century Clean Transportation Plan' on top of the FAST Act.

This is an issue that I continue to pursue from my seat on the Intelligence Committee as well.
