Keith Ashdown Sure Quotations

Lawmakers are not trying to win campaign cash. They are trying to make sure that they employ thousands of people.

The fact is, there are not the checks and balances to make sure the money is spent well.

They've created a complicated scheme of making sure a lot of different profitable energy industries are going to make off like bandits, ... pad their bottom line, but it doesn't really create new behavior in the energy industry.

They're not really sure if they're going to get anything that actually will work in a real-time effort like Iraq. It's frustrating in that most taxpayers are going to say we need to keep our troops safe.

They're a little late to the parade, but I still think it's an important step to make sure this whole sort of embarrassing era has ended.
