Let me just also add that we do, in fact, I think we agree on this, know we are going to realize immediate savings as soon as we embark on establishing paternity and making some young men in America finally pay for the responsibilities that they carelessly created. When I visited the GAIN Program, which most analysts today cite as a success story, they still indicate that 50 percent of the population that would be eligible to participate in the program is now in deferral because of problems with drugs, legal problems, teenage mothers, pregnancy or whatever. Fifty percent is not even being able to participate. What do we do for a population like that? Are we prepared then to just say they are cast aside? That is a problem for both, if we are trying to achieve some solution.
