Well, what's the response on that?

We urge its adoption at a minimum of that amount of $11.8 billion.

About 20,000 a year actually seek to go to Federal--actually go to Federal court.

I was very concerned about the CLASS Act and how it would work.

This amendment would prohibit any Federal funds appropriated for the rest of fiscal year 2011 from being distributed under the Equal Access to Justice Act.

I'm looking forward to working with the administration on the implementation of this pilot program.

The Equal Access to Justice Act is an extremely important statute that defrays the cost of legal expenses for claimants.

I think I'm going to call Ms. Shor up to the table. No reason we can't.

Not every case is the same. They're all different, and that's why sometimes people have to appeal these to ALJs and then on to Federal court, I guess.

I just wanted to point that out, that that's another little whack out there that might happen.

So, why do so many cases, 20,000 a year, go through this whole system and stuff if--I mean, is it just an interpretive question, or is it a question of judgment, how disabled a person is?

It is wishful thinking--wishful thinking--to expect improvements in school quality when we are laying off teachers, increasing class sizes, and reducing instructional time.

Now, that's what the President's proposal is going to, hopefully, going to try to do, is to test a new system out on this.

I'm saying, for the present generation out there, I mean, some of them have never used computers before, have never gone online.

We wanted to have this hearing, to highlight the problems confronting the Social Security Administration.

Reforming healthcare is not only the right thing to do, it will save taxpayers money and reduce the deficit by $210 billion in the first decade and more than $1 trillion in the next.

I think this is something that we just have not paid much attention to and we should.

We are fearful that that could make legal representation unavailable to claimants who need to pursue their claims in Federal court.
