Patrick McHenry actually said...

"States now say that more money would help them through their current rough patch. The reality, however, is that the money States receive from the stimulus has, in many ways, made them worse off."

"States do not want or need the power to declare bankruptcy."

"I certainly appreciate that."

"I can understand if you didn't know a 3 percent cost overrun, but 25 percent, for heaven's sake, that seems to me unfathomable that you didn't know that."
