it is a win-win-win.

For every $1 that we appropriate through DERA, we get about $13 worth of health savings.

We have to figure out a way to get some additional moneys moved, Federal moneys moved through the appropriation process into this program.

It doesn't get much better than that. It is a great combination. Win-win-win.

I think that is a good step for us to take, and thank you for your leadership.

Thank you so much. Thank you for your testimony and for your leadership for eons on these important issues.

I don't believe Americans are especially interested in Democratic ideas or Republican ideas.

Cutting such a successful program is penny wise and pound foolish, which is why I will work with my colleagues to restore funding for this effective law.

I appreciate the dedication to reducing the Federal deficit, but some investments are actually worth paying for, especially when they have a 13 to 1 payoff.

It is the 80-20 rule. ... focus on the 80 percent where we agree, to see what we can get done.

Excellent. That is all we have time for today, time is running out on the clock.

DERA turned out to be a great idea, not just a great idea but actually great policy, averaging more than $13 in health benefits for every $1 in funding.

Thank you for that clarification.

As Dr. King said, 'injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.'

That could actually help address one of the underlying causes.

Could we just talk about underlying causes?

We focused a whole lot on parenting training for people, including people in prison, because almost all of them were parents.

This is an all-hands-on-deck moment. And there is also a real shared responsibility here.

Why don't we focus this Administration for 4 years or 8 years, however long I was going to get to be Governor of Delaware, and just focus on the underlying causes of why does a kid start school behind, why do they fall further behind, why…

We must not be content to make just a dent in human trafficking.

We focused on teenage pregnancies, how to reduce them. I saw the other day that teen pregnancies are down by half in this country since 1992, the year I was elected Governor.

It is, to put it bluntly, a crime against humanity.

human trafficking should be called exactly what it is: 'modern-day slavery.' It is a plague on our Nation and the world.

I think in a very smart, thoughtful way that can grow revenues by a half-billion dollars or more a year.

I want to thank you and the Committee for having this hearing, and I think the sooner we get some postal reform, the more pressure will be released out in the field.
