Isn't it odd they pass ``let's pay everybody,'' 435 to 0, they pass it but they only want to have some of them come back to work? If you are a fiscal conservative--I think I am; we are from Montana, Alaska, you know, conservative States--I want them working if we are paying them. Doesn't that make sense? Instead, it seems as though we are given a couple of agencies, but they still want to pay everybody. I don't know what the logic is there.
