You have 30 percent of the people that come out of that, 30 percent become self-sufficient in an 18 month period of time.

what I would like to hear from you is the best ways we need to reform not just the nutritional program

We just want to make sure we do it the most efficient way to serve the families of our military.

I agree with that, that we need to make sure people are getting the assistance they need, but I don't want to go down the road of increasing and growing a government program when there is a simpler solution.

I come from the State of Florida, and as you probably are well aware, we are the third largest in the country.
