I don't like H.R. 1. I had a proposal that indicated that we should take Lee Iacocca's approach and cut everybody across the board some amount.
the administration didn't propose a budget for 2012. They really proposed a lot of pie in the sky, a pipe-dream concept paper for what you would love to see in a reauthorization bill.
I think we all agree that taking more than a year to get appropriated funds out the door is simply unacceptable.
we need to get some answers as to what the real substantial proposals are, how we are going to pay for them, and how the taxpayer is going to be affected.
