" "If you don't have any oversight at all, you're just asking for trouble. There will be more fraud than is necessary."

Orszag, the former director of the Office of Management and Budget, said he does not think properly administered oversight will create bureaucratic inefficiencies that make it harder to execute the programs.Lazard"In fact, what I would say is there is a risk to too little oversight because it will generate more backlash when things go wrong and therefore undermine the ability to do more later when we need it," he added.
