Our job in Congress is oversight, investigate and expose when we think there is something wrong.

This is not a Republican or Democrat issue, this is an American issue.

You need to do something about this.

These cost overruns are off the chart, and the idea that somehow there is an answer in the future is unacceptable.

I think this was designed for failure from the beginning, and I tell you why I think that.

The goal of the President is to have no homeless veterans by 2015.

Thank you all for what you do. You are incredibly important to society.

It is really not that difficult to figure out. Maybe it is hard to talk about, but we know the goose that lays the golden egg.

I think it is incredibly important that everybody understands everybody who deserves this funding should get it.

I think the closer relationship we have with these countries who--the better we are as partners also in a world that is constantly now undergoing some changes.

I don't think there is more important trade policy that we can get than in that part of the world, especially with the influence of China.

But on the TPP, though, you have got a heavy, heavy load there.

On the TPP, I am really interested in this. Now, I know if we are going to get the economy back on track, we have got to go after the global market.

This poverty thing is something that is really troubling that we spend all this money, but we haven't gotten any results.

I think we have got to be careful that we don't paint everybody with the same brush and say, we are wasting this money.

What is the return on that investment? What are investing these dollars in?

Was there also consideration of, if we do this with the employer mandate, what do we do with the individual mandate?

A yes or no is easy for me.

I think there is a natural feeling that I should be treated fairly and equally under it.

I thank you, Chairman, and Mr. Iwry, thank you so much for being here.

I think that when you look at this whole activity that is taking place right now, and I think the piece that is missing more than any other is the relationships that you build with the folks that work with you.

This is critical to the faith and trust that the people have in this government. Right now their tank is running on empty

Our role as Congress is to be here for the people that we represent, that voted us into office.

The people that I represent back in northwest Pennsylvania do not for any--they don't believe right now that there is going to be a serious inquiry into this

I can't imagine putting people in a position they get up that want to go to work, and we have made it impossible for them to see the benefit of working anymore.
