The gentleman had me at more jobs and higher wages for workers. You had me there. One of the things we don't ever talk about is the snooping that you describe. Now, ``snooping'' is a powerful word. As you were talking about that, it dawned on me that the Federal Government knows more about my finances than any member of my family. Think about that. The Federal Government knows more about me and my finances than I am willing to tell any member of my family. When I think about freedom in this country, when I think about what the government needs to do to keep us safe, to keep the economy growing, I don't think about that degree of invasiveness as being necessary today. I yield to the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Brooks).
