Political Quotes

“My amendment would reduce funding for the administrative expenses within the Federal Transit Administration by $1,287,000. This office is one of 13 in the underlying bill which is slated to receive increases for administrative expenses despite the dire fiscal environment we have in our Nation, but we've got to stop the outrageous spending that government has been doing. The passage of my amendment would simply bring the funding level for these administrative expenses that are within the Federal Transit Administration back to the level of this year. It would just reduce the increase back to current levels. I urge the support of my amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.”
