I thank the gentleman for having this Special Order tonight. My good friend, Congressman Jordan has laid out the facts of this case. There are many other detailed facts that we don't have time to get into. But just to give you an example…
Oh, absolutely, no question. But then you always have to apply that to over time, some places get hit three or four times over a decade.
Isn't the problem, in fact, it doesn't matter how much money you throw at, it doesn't matter who you put in charge, if you don't hold people accountable for their actions or lack of actions, you are never going to get good results.
