"As a small government proponent, I am always looking at where the government is more effective."
"we have doubled the number of employees of FEMA. I mean have we really gotten the bang for the buck there, or has that actually created more problems?"
"the reality is different because if you are really going to rely on local districts or local governments we would not be increasing the size of FEMA."
"OK. You said that you have--there are 30,000 notices trying to recover. Is it 30,000 out of 160,000?"
"the number of layers I think can actually make things less effective."
"That would be a good idea. I mean if that worked well."
"So how many do you expect out of the 160,000 will receive notices?"
"Can you typify? I mean improper is a term. Can you typify what, put some meat on that bone?"
"So do you split out then actual fraud versus potential fraud?"
"Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Let me pick up on that point in terms of fraud rate with Mr. Serino."
"maybe FEMA is being asked to deal with too many situations that do not really constitute an emergency or a disaster."
