"The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is one of the longest running programs at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)."

"This budget is going to eliminate the investments and hands-on efforts that help families succeed. This is not a foundation for greatness. Frankly, this budget is a travesty."

"I think you could really help an awful lot of us clear the day up, if you will."

"There has to be one element of this government that the public can look at and say: this is not politically motivated."
