They are, Mr. Speaker. And from a taxpayer standpoint, most taxpayers are going to be excited about this, I think, especially people who have children in schools and who are familiar with the academic settings in America today. Some Americans just do not care, and we know this, and that is unfortunate, and some of our colleagues here in Congress do not care. They will be content to continue sending cash to Washington as they always have.
