"Southeastern Washington needs the existing VA facilities and it deserves a new, modern VA facility, as well."

"There is no question that a perfect storm of Wall Street greed, irresponsible mortgage lending, and uninformed decisions by borrowers are at the heart of our economic crisis."

"I think there is also more that we can do on a legislative basis to try to make sure we do that."

"We put $2 million into the Appropriations Committee last year to deal with that and $6 million to the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation."
