I do believe it. But, you know, back then it might have made a little bit of sense when you had unemployment of about 25 percent, people desperately needed jobs. Now we have the other problem. We need more workers in this country. The economy is doing good, and we need more workers. And we particularly need the skills of our seniors. We are losing so much talent. The gentleman from the State of Florida (Mr. Foley) and I have I think it is 81,000 seniors that are going to be directly affected by this. Nationwide it is, as my colleague said, just under a million. It is a little over 800,000 of the seniors that are going to be affected.
