Can the gentleman imagine a Washington IRS-type bureaucracy building local schools? I know to some liberals that is a great deal. It is interesting, as a matter of fact. Here is a copy of the Washington Times as of last Tuesday where the President opposes citizen oversight of the IRS. I mean is this the national Democratic Party now that has come down to supporting the IRS and the fact that many folks back home think it is time to overhaul the tax system, overhaul the IRS, to stop some of the harassment of our citizens and the President and the Democrats are defending the IRS? It does not make any sense at all. I do not want an IRS-type bureaucracy to run the local school construction projects.

I want to point out on Israel and that, you know, that bothered me, but Israel's never had a better friend in the White House, and I think you get that from Israel.
