The GAO just released a report that said 22 percent of federal programs fail to meet their objectives. The truth is we don't know how taxpayer money is spent in Washington, D.C., which is why I think we ought to put every agency budget up on the Internet for everyone to see.

We need more transparency and accountability in government so that people know how their money is being spent. That means putting budgets online, putting legislation online.

Well I think money has been going into political campaigns for a very long time.

I think what's fascinating is how many people are playing in politics who maybe haven't played before.

Politics exist in the boardroom, as well.

I think somehow men understand other men's need for respect differently than they understand it for a woman. I'm disappointed to have to say that, but I think it's undeniably true.
