You were very clear, and I know Mr. Clyburn would expect nothing less than for us to lay out what our position is. I know some people ask: What is the Congressional Black Caucus' position on how to address poverty? You touched on it. It's the 10-20-30 policy. This means that 10 percent of funds from certain accounts would be directed to areas that have had a poverty rate of 20 percent for the last 30 years in America. So, rather than spending money everywhere, let's spend it where there is the most need, the most critical need, and where there has been a generational need now for 30 years so that we can see the type of outcomes, the return on investment and the change that people so desperately need.
