the question is--and my advice to the Committee is to look at the roles that the Federal Government has taken over that would be better and more efficiently done at the State level.
As stewards of the Federal purse, we should be ensuring that we are doing all that we can to save taxpayer dollars and create efficiency in Government.
That is not partisan. That is just due to the fact that there is not a commitment to reconciliation and working together to get things done.
I just do not think it works. And I want to be humane. We have a moral obligation to the least of these, folks who do not have a place to live, but there has got to be a better way to do this.
