Michael Capuano actually said...

And I commend the FAA under the leadership of Randy Babbitt and others for making progress in several key areas of NextGen.

the future is too important for us to play partisan politics here and for us to talk about how much we have to save and not spend.

However, because many of the NextGen programs are dependent on one or more systems, delays in one program mean delays in other programs.

I think we ought to stop and think, who is creating the uncertainty, and be honest about it.
