If that is the case, how long are you going to keep holding Fannie and Freddie hostage?

So that goes in the general fund, and we, Congress, and you, the Administration, in the normal course, can spend it any way we want?

The question is, when are we going to stop using this as a piggy bank?

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

But that $40 billion is only the beginning.

I think you are doing a pretty good job. I like pretty much everything your agency is doing and I have been supportive from day one.

I would like to do this quickly because in my district, in Boston alone, there are 9,000 triple deckers, 27,000 units, and that is just Boston, never mind the rest of my district.

In New England, a triple decker usually is a classic entry into homeownership for working people who could not otherwise afford to buy a home.

Why should I continue to support throwing money at NextGen when I have yet to see enough bang for the buck?

Mr. Administrator, I don't mean to interrupt you, and that is all well and good, but why are my complaints going through the roof?

I don't see much change for all the money and effort.
