I think they told us that that $25 million was all food stamps was ever going to cost us. I don't even know what the number is, the billions of dollars that we are into that now. These programs do tend to have a life of their own. I thank you for raising this issue. I think this issue is important for the Members of Congress and for America to know that we are, unfortunately, starting down the road of, in my opinion, the possibility of awarding illegal behavior. It concerns me greatly, and I thank you for raising this issue.
