David Roe: “ROA appreciates that Chairman Roe has provided oversight of the Department of Veterans Affairs Senior Executive Service…”

I want to thank the Chairman for bringing this bill forward, and hopefully we can get this thing done and out of here by Christmas.

But I am mindful of something Rahm Emanuel said when he was chief of staff to President Obama in 2009. He said you never let a serious crisis go to waste. I am afraid some of us are doing that here.

Implementation and enforcement can be a good thing where government is working with businesses to help them get to a desired result or it can be a dagger in the heart.

If you were, you wouldn't behave like this. And nobody would spend their own money like this.
