"We are building highways for a country that does not even have a highway department."

"I think most Americans would be shocked to know that we have one now and it is $693,000 a year."

"I do not think our government has been very good at tracking the costs and making sure that we are making the kind of analysis that taxpayers have a right to expect."

"I would really like to take a look at that because I think that this has been the assumption that we have been working on without data."
