I think maybe we should be looking at the cost of this overall entity versus the cost of just buying.
I read that Mr. McDonald said earlier that he needs to fire 1,000 people in the VA. Did anybody get fired?
When I became a congressman, I went to the Corps and asked them what we needed to do to get it dredged.
I haven't been in politics all that long, I guess 4 years now between county council and now Congress. And I am concerned that any project that requires Corps approval in my district seems to--it never seems to happen without a great deal…
It seems the Corps has become an entity that obstructs rather than promotes these projects.
I think that, at least in my district back home, that we are--we are struggling and gnashing our teeth and pulling our hair trying to get projects done.
Yet it was held up for years by requirements placed on us by the Corps because an environmental group wrote a letter.

It is imperative that a bipartisan solution be reached to benefit all Missourians on the road.
