is this not something? They did it when they were in power, so we can do it. They did it, so we can do it. Let us get serious. Here we are creating a commission to spend money to figure out how we are going to spend more money. We pass a balanced budget amendment, we talk about downsizing Government, we talk about reinventing Government. And what are we doing here today? Let us create a political commission, because we do not want to do our jobs. We in Congress do not want to do our jobs on the Committee on National Security. We do not want to hold the Secretary of Defense back. Get real, If we are going to cut the size of Government, we cannot begin to create more commissions, created by politicians to appoint politicians to have more partisan rhetoric. National security is more important than partisan politics. This commission is a joke and everyone in the country knows it.
