Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Can you please explain, Mr. Taylor, to the subcommittee what happened that led to Balfour Beatty pleading guilty to major fraud against the United States...

If you don't take care of our servicemembers, then we will.

If you repeatedly violated the standards that were expected of you, ... what would happen to you?

They have horrendously abused the trust that we invested in them. They have mistreated our servicemembers.

Ongoing mistreatment

You are falling woefully behind. It is not right.

It seems that your hard choices always come at the expense of the quality of life of your servicemembers, of your airmen.

I think we have sent pretty strong messages about how we feel about funding in this bill.

Reducing military construction funding when there is an overwhelming backlog of required priorities... is simply not good government.

This type of high funding should be the rule, not the exception.

That is a 25-percent cut.

This trend not only impacts the mission-readiness of our forces but also the quality of life of servicemembers and their families.

I just worry that we send too many veterans out of the system because the wait times are not calculated really accurately.

We should have a quality of military housing, no matter where it is in the country or the world.

I wouldn't want mine. And that is unacceptable.

It shouldn't be dangerous to live in your military housing.

The law that we passed that included the Tenant Bill of Rights is designed to allow you to feel free to share with us freely about the concerns that you have.

My patience has run out, and I know the committee's has as well.

Well, gosh, Private Calderon, since you have only been here a year and we have engaged in passage of the Tenant Bill of Rights and implementation of it, it is disturbing that you wouldn't have at least seen some--at least, if not noticed…

It certainly seems like there is a tremendous amount of desire and need out there.

I mean, that is completely outrageous.

And that problem is further exacerbated when the interests of private monopolists are put ahead of American families.

At the end of the day, we need to make sure that we have adequate supply, and that we can keep children safe.

This corporate consolidation hurts all of our families, but especially lower income workers.

The brutal truth is that four companies control nearly 90 percent of America's baby formula market, and that is the very definition of an oligopoly.
