Well, Congress holds the purse strings (via the Constitution) for a reason, Mr. Representative. USE IT!! Threaten to defund HLS until they answer.

He has Ben Bernanke for a reason as well.

Unless Congress wants to go full bore and investigate or impeach then this will continue.

We have not had a budget in 4 years and Congress doesn’t seem all that upset. We have been had.

DHS is a rogue agency. They need to be utterly defunded on a permanent and final basis.

Congress had no problem agreeing cut our military by $487 Billion over ten years beginning in 2010, and again with Sequestration by $650 Billion over ten years.

Training is gutted, tuition assistance for our heroes was only re-instated yesterday via emergency funding, Operations and Maintenance money is short 40-60% across the services, 750,000 DoD civilians (from nurses to maintainers) are about to be furloughed, flying hours for all services have been cut to the bone, training for Army Brigade Combat Teams has been slashed 80%, and depot maintenance for all services is at a stand still.

But, Congress is allowing TSA to spend over $50 million on new uniforms and Homeland Security to by MRAP vehicles, weapons, and billions of rounds of ammunition.
