It is a pleasure to join you here once again as we get a chance to take a look at Special Orders, and also I am joined by some of my distinguished colleagues. We are going to be looking once again at a subject that has really absorbed the…

You know, when we're running at whatever it is--and these numbers, I don't really believe them, because these numbers are worse-- but 10 percent unemployment, and you dump 5 million more jobs lost on a bill that is already going to cost…

Let me ask a question. We have two of you who are medical doctors here, one who's a judge, one's a former medical professional. I'm an engineer by training, and now we're Congressmen. And one of the things that we have to do and we should…

It seems to me the study has already occurred. Various States have done it, tried it, and it saved a lot of money. What more do we need to study on it?
