Political Quotes

“I said, ``We've got a problem. I think we have a problem. We've taken a look at the Labor Department. We've taken a look at their discretionary spending. We have met with the Labor Department. We can't account for about 3 to $4 billion.'' The response from GAO was, ``Yeah.'' It is kind of like, ``What do you mean, yeah?" It is kind of like, ``Well, what's the problem?" ``Well, we can't find 3 to $4 billion. They can't tell us where it went. We'd like to know who got the money, what they were going to do with it, and whether they actually accomplished the goal and the objectives that we had set here from Congress.'' They said, ``Well, we're actually completing a report, and we're not surprised that you can't find 3 to $4 billion. We can't find it, either.'' It is kind of like, ``Oh?" They said, ``This is not just a Labor Department problem. When our report gets issued, you will find that this problem crosses all the different Cabinet posts here in Washington.''”
