Al Franken actually said...

"The Older Americans Act saves money. It leverages money. It saves money."

"So by achieving its goals, do you mean that it saves money and that by providing these nutritional programs, it allows people to stay in their homes and therefore cuts the costs to the taxpayer?"

"The clear inference of those results would be the ability to stay out of nursing homes, wouldn't it, and be able to stay at home, if you reduce isolation and increase nutrition?"

"I again believe that this is a program that saves the taxpayers money by leveraging what you do."
