“If my colleague will yield further, again that points to one of our other aims as there have been changes in this Congress as we rethink the future, and that is the notion of transferring the money, power, and influence out of the hands of Washington bureaucrats, back to people at home, beginning with the family but also including those local and State governments, those who are on the frontlines. Janesville, WI, differs greatly from Scottsdale, AZ. Indeed within Arizona in my own district which spans from Franklin to the four corners, to Flagstaff in the west, there are different circumstances and different challenges in an incredibly diverse district. So much the better, then, that we are able to establish a framework that pays off the debt that puts the trust back into these ironically named trust funds. If there is one of the oxymoronic phrases of Washington, DC, certainly as we stand here at this juncture of our history, it would be the notion of trust funds since so much of those funds have gone to other matters, pressing matters to be sure but matters for which those funds were not originally intended. We put the trust back into those trust funds but most importantly we have the money stay in the pockets to working Americans. That is vital.”
