Home Depot Co-Founder: A Lot of Uncertainty in the GOP Field

“We bought a thousand ships a year during WWII and we had a thousand people in the Bureau of Ships. In the 1980’s we bought 17.2 ships a year and we had 4,000 people in the Bureau of Ships.  Today we buy 9.2 ships a year and we have 25,000 people in the Bureau of Ships. Before the stimulus package we had on person in the Department of Transportation making $170,000 or more. Right after the stimulus package was passed we have 1149 people in the Department of Transportation getting paid more than $170,000.”
