The Subcommittee this afternoon looks at the Federal Transit Benefit Program.

I think that was at seven agencies. I misspoke.

Extrapolate that. If that were true for all of the agencies here and for all of the employees here.

And that raises the equity issue, it seems to me, because if there are a lot of people who are getting their transportation paid for by the government, who would have paid for that mass transit from their own pay, where you have other…

If there is anything close to a 25 percent rate of abuse, ... you are talking about perhaps $150 million to $200 million of waste in 2008.

I believe that the greatest strength of our democracy is our ability to work together, to find common ground, and to get things done.
