Thomas McClintock actually said...

"Are we ever going to solve our water shortage without fundamentally reforming the Endangered Species Act?"

"the costs are prohibitive on these projects now. And I look at the Hoover Dam and all the other magnificent dams during the Roosevelt years."

"Are we so arrogant or foolish that we think depression, mass unemployment and food shortages cannot happen here again;"

"If this current crisis teaches us anything, it must be that there is no substitute for adding supply."
