We simply can't afford to ignore the lessons from past accidents and crashes.

Some will say now isn't the time to make public investments. Some will say we can't afford it.

The IRS must be funded at a level that enables it to provide necessary taxpayer assistance and to enforce the laws.

I am deeply troubled with this budget. The Coast Guard does not have adequate funding to do everything we expect them to do.
