Because he knows he will. Our school superintendent realized that there are 110 Federal employees sitting in Atlanta, GA, directing the food program in Georgia, the lunch program, and she realizes full well that if we will block grant this money back to the States, we are going to cut some bureaucrats out of that group. Let me mention to the gentlemen, you were talking about earlier, a lot of countries call what was going on as propaganda. It is spreading misinformation. For example, when they were talking about, they keep saying that we are going to cut the money that goes to feed the children as if this is a contest over who is most compassionate, who cares most about the WIC Program, who cares most about the School Lunch Program. But, you know, we are spending $5.9 billion this year on our food programs, not including, not including food stamps, and it is going to rise next year. It is going to rise to $6.1 billion. It is rising 4.5 percent.
