So what's next in the queue? If you've got CIS, and I know you've also received some attention on the G.I. Bill, but are there other areas that we can expect to see soon?

Thank you. I am very intrigued. I am not sure how we could translate that, although maybe the Budget Committee would be the place.

I would hope that might include... some oversight in that process, so a look-back in that process.

I still got a lot of folks knocking on my Senate office door saying, you know, we're in the midst of kind of this opaque area in the Immigration Service?

Got to get the technology right. Where's the IT guy?

We are looking for other areas at the VA, Education, Treasury, and elsewhere, where there are these customer-facing services.

we have proven ourselves as an institution--Congress, political leadership, President--incapable of dealing with this problem of stopping the indebtedness.

I guess I will take it as kind of a left-handed compliment that Congress is not-- what did you say?-- 'a performance wasteland.'

$12 trillion of debt today, commitments that are in law already that will add $9 trillion to that in the next 10 years, $21 trillion. It is, as we say, unsustainable.

I want to make sure every member--you know, one thing I have learned as a new member, if you make sure everybody gets involved, they actually come back.

I had inherited a $6 billion deficit on a $34 billion base.

My hope is, Senator Bunning, with the red ink as far as the eye can see, if we do not see this as an opportunity to actually move a little more quickly, then shame on us.

Very interesting.

What gets measures gets done.

I think it is terribly important that we have not only these broad management goals, but that we actually have some customer service goals.

Everything, from entitlement spending to tax policy, would be on the table.

America is going broke.

The Federal Government has played a big part in the early development of renewable fuels by creating an expanded Renewable Fuels Standard along with tax credits for ethanol, biodiesel and now advanced biofuels.
