America is a place where you can be born into a low-income household but still lift yourself up, and it doesn't matter what color you are.

HUD's mission is to provide decency and sanitary housing for low and moderate income people in this country.

The dream doesn't lie in victimization or blame; it lies in hard work, determination and a good education.

And I always like to stress, it's not a quota, not a set-aside, it's not about race, it's about giving opportunities to demonstrate their abilities to do work with the Federal Government.

The other part of outsourcing is this: it simply says where the work can be done outside better than it can be done inside, we should do it.

it would be a mistake to rebuild the Ninth Ward.
