Bernard, good question. We have a program called Job Training 2000. And it's a good one, and as I say, it takes people that are working and gives them a chance to get job training while they're working. That's a new approach, apprenticeship approach. The best answer has got to be--you asked about education. I can't see where he is--I guess out there--education. We have a bold, new program called America 2000; 1,700 communities are already participating in it. You know, school choice--parents should be able to choose the school of their choice, whether they're religious, public, or private. And say, oh, that will diminish the public schools. No, it won't. It didn't do it when you had the GI bill. It will be a good thing, and it's working in Milwaukee in areas very much like downtown Detroit. So education is a little longer run; job training is the shorter run, job retraining. Government Gridlock
