“If you would yield a moment, Mr. Tanner, I can tell you right now that there are a lot of things we should be doing, or the Republican majority should be doing but they are not doing, and we don't have the opportunity to do it because we are in the minority. Again, it is good having you and Mrs. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, especially from the Ways and Means Committee, talking about the accountability and the ways and means of doing things. I am glad that you have this bill filed. And I am happy to know about it, because I am writing here a note to my folks that I need to be a part of this, because that is what we are talking about here almost every night, accountability, with these Inspector General reports stacking up. As you also know, Mr. Tanner, the head person of the GAO has this working group moving around the country talking about what is happening in this government, the lack of accountability, the lack of oversight. Mr. Ryan and I met with him in the office. And this is bipartisan conservative and ``liberal groups'' going around. They have come together on behalf of the country because all this money is being spent with very little accountability. {time} 1930”
