"We have to be building the stuff that brings the highest rate of return to our case."

"For me to get something done, you have to help me, and I have to have support out there in saying, we want to get back to building roads and bridges."

"Had we not done that, where would we be today? I would argue that we have received a tremendous return on that investment."
