Well, to me, that explains why you guys lost $200 million of taxpayers' money.

Okay, no political influence involved getting this loan, and yet you lost $200 million of taxpayer dollars...

What gives? Was it made up, Mr. Whitcombe?

Fisker is the one who has lost $200 million of taxpayer money.

It is either incompetence or political influence.

The Government shouldn't be in this business of actually trying to be a venture capitalist.

In the world outside the Beltway, anybody who exceeds expectations 98 percent of the time gets an A+.

Today's hearing is about getting to the bottom of the U.S. Department of Energy's Fisker Automotive loan fiasco.

The company is Fisker. Your name is Fisker. You are chairman of the board and you don't know about a deal to sell the company to recoup taxpayer dollars?

Their absence does not absolve them of the responsibility to answer questions to the American people they have a right to know.

These grant programs are not the only reason for this historic and sustained drop in crime.

the Federal investment is a tiny portion of overall spending on criminal justice.

Fighting these crimes require sophistication and coordination across all levels of government.

The national government cannot afford to not have a role.

the reason we support reducing spending and sequestration is because we have a debt larger than our entire annual economy.

What we are arguing is that there are also consequences to continuing to spend more money than you have and piling on a debt that is now bigger than our entire economy.

I am appalled the President has thrown the men and women who would take a bullet for him, the Secret Service, under the bus for canceling White House tours.

I support all of the use of both liquefied and compressed natural gas because, in fact, it is a clean fuel, a plentiful fuel and an inexpensive fuel.

Just to the same gentleman, while citrus greening may be a problem, is it not also true, or in your judgment, is a $16 trillion debt a problem as well...
