David Roe: “We have enough vouchers, the problem is we do not have enough housing stock to fill.”

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.

Do not imply, Mr. Secretary, I care any less about the veterans who are committing suicide. I have declared suicide prevention to be the No. 1 priority of this committee.

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

I will not sit here and tell you that I am going to give you a metric and that we will eliminate veteran suicide.
