The chairman went on to national television and actually accused the administration of deliberately misleading the American people about the attacks in Benghazi.

There is absolutely no reason why you should not have an extensive simulation training.

The military is saving hundreds of millions of dollars, in fact billions of dollars, with simulation.

In a time in which we have incredible deficits, ... it can be done with simulation.

Are you still recruiting people in the Washington area from the tops of pizza boxes?

God bless the screeners, they are working, there are fewer of them.

Again, there is a new math, new accounting.

They ignored us in the Transportation Committee for a total of six years.

I have no problem with collective bargaining. I think you are screwing the screeners...

You hijack an agency like TSA, you turn it into one of the biggest bureaucracies we have ever created.

The fact that we are making them in Mexico is very disturbing to me.

I think this is an appropriate time to start again refocusing... and looking at the Federal Government's bulging inventory of judiciary overbuilt Taj Mahals is long overdue.

How the hell are they building these things exceeding the guidelines established and what is set in law?

It seems to me what we are dealing with here is a massive act of legislative malpractice
