“You know, again you talked about Jack Kemp and saying that they are good people. I have been asked the question of what is going to happen to all these good workers, especially in the education field because that is what I do. That is a task force I am heading up, the education task force. I was also struck by Jack Kemp's comments, and I thought, and again getting back to the fact this is not ideological, this is not a battle over ideology. It is a battle over what works and what does not work. Well, Mr. Kemp's comments remind me of the Alice Rivlin book you cite, and I read the book and I know you have, and I certainly hope the President of the United States reads Ms. Rivlin's book and follows her suggestions because they are great suggestions. But Ms. Rivlin talked about the drain, the talent drain, the brain drain, that this huge bureaucracy has caused, that from 1932 to 1980, when we had this explosion of growth in the government, not only does that suck up all the money across the country to Washington, it also sucked up all the talent we have, extremely talented people working in Washington, DC. So what happens when we downsize these agencies, when we do away with these bureaucracies that are preventing them even from showing their true talents, stifling them, that are handcuffing them? What happens? They go home, and they enrich their communities, and they enrich the neighborhoods from whence they came.”
