Political Quotes

On the recordApril 15, 2012
There are a lot of good federal employees who work hard. They're patriotic, and they're frugal with their money. But when you see this widespread abuse of money, and then you as the former administrator said, 'Well, they were entitled to it,' that's where there's frustration just steaming out of our ears. It is totally unacceptable. And for the president of the United States to look the American people in the eye and say, we have a pay freeze in place, while you're going on bonuses or going on trips, it's totally unacceptable.
