We are in a business where the more people we can put into our restaurants, the better we can perform.

In all fairness to the IRS, and I know it is hard to believe I would say that, but it is really the legislation, the big soup that was created in the legislation, that put the IRS in a very difficult position.

We have about 200 employees right now.

We have spent the last several years looking at how we were going to report.

It is always great to have you here. Always look forward to your testimony.

A number of us just returned from the Ukraine, and so I have got a question about what is going on in eastern Europe.

I have to tell you, that hurts to hear it referred to--to me, a slush fund is something that would be used to spend money unnecessarily or wastefully.

What concerns should we have about what our capability is in the eastern part of Europe given what is going on in the Ukraine and the potential for Russia to step up more of this aggressive nature that they seem to be playing?

the threat is moving forward rapidly and progressing at an equal pace.

Seems to me that over time, we hear all of these time frames, in 6 months, in 1 year, and this has been going on multiple years, so forgive me for being a bit skeptical about some of this.

We need to be careful, that the message that we are sending is anything but that which would become a combat multiplier.

If our goal is to convince the American public that we are going to achieve some kind of fiscal sanity...only on the discretionary side of the budget, the public is going to be terribly misled.
