I think you have an obligation to give us specific proposals with specific consequences of those proposals as you see them.

I have just spent an hour-and-a-half listening to your nonsense, and you can't listen for 5 minutes to mine.

When risk of loss goes up, cost goes up. That is natural.

I just want to be clear: There is no one on this panel who actually believes that if, God forbid, there was another significant terrorist attack... the American people should not respond to that immediately and do whatever it took to deal…

I think that it is disingenuous to suggest that this one agency is the root of our problems.
