We have a tremendous backlog in maintenance. Before we build a lot of new roads and bridges, are we sure that our current roads or bridges will not collapse?

I understand in the President's budget submission, he reclassifies the project to compete solely on navigation rather than on the dual purpose and provides $21 million of funding which is an inadequate amount of money.

We need better transit; we need better commuter rail; we need better ideas on rapid rail.

I think seeing it would be extremely important in understanding what has been achieved by keeping our channels open but also the restoration of a major part of the Chesapeake Bay.

If you could get back to us--I mean, this is a publicly reported document. Would you be willing to get back to us and let us know, confirm or say one way or another?

Stock buybacks are primarily a way for corporations to increase the share price.

the predictions were $4,000-a-year pay increases.

Isn't that part of the plan?

We do not know what the source of funding exactly will be, but you are cutting... well over $200 billion in infrastructure.

I just want to associate myself with Senator Cardin's comments and questions with respect to both the success of Poplar Island in the Bay and the Mid Bay project.

I am just curious if the President meant what he said.

The President has now said on a number of occasions that he does support an increase in the gas tax to fund this $200 billion plan.

Wells Fargo is 'too big to manage'.
