Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Let's pump them up. If they're not working, let's find out why they're not working.
In fiscal year 2012, I believe we need to make cuts to our discretionary budget. I don't think we have any choice.
I hope you're committed to that.
We want these programs to work. And we have to measure them. And if they don't work, we figure out something that will work.
We want the end result, don't we?
They should be proud of what they've done.
The unemployment rate is 8.8 percent. When you consider the underemployed and those who have stopped looking for work, the real unemployment...
It was the worst that we've experienced in my lifetime, and probably in most people's lifetime in the whole South.
I want to--I'm not proposing we abolish Job Corps. I'm thinking, in trying to work with you and Senator Cochran and others, to improve it.
We're facing dire circumstances.
