We have fought, Mr. Denham and I, from the week we took over a year-and-a-half ago.

Well, then I am right, we are probably in the 1,000-plus properties. But don't worry, folks, we got rid of 34, and we brought in $25 million for the taxpayer.

It has been a very sad 5 years that we would let an historic building further deteriorate.

This is an historic building and it has value.

No one wants to fire anybody. No one wants to get rid of any employees. That is not what this is about.

What is disturbing is, the last report, you recommended that they get out of the cash business.

Well, I tell you, this is extremely frustrating. I may be in the weeds, but if you don't get in the weeds, you know, the country is going to go down the tubes.

I mean, we have been here before on this. The losses are expanding.

There has to be a better way. And every agency, every operation of Government that we are involved with, we have got to do a better job in being a responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars.

For me it is not a discussion about 1,200 jobs; it is a discussion about 1,200 people, 1,200 careers, 1,200 families who can't survive on minimum wage.

I think, you know, in a time when we are running multitrillion-dollar deficits that we have got to look at every activity of Government.
