before the Senator leaves, I would ask him a question. And the reason I am asking Senator Coburn about this is because there is no one of these 100 Senators here today who has spent more hours, effort and time in dealing with the duplicative programs of the Federal Government than Senator Coburn. He has brought up these issues time and again. I just ask, according to the GAO, in 2009, Senator Coburn, I understand that 9 Federal agencies spent $18 billion to administer 47 job training programs. The Senator has looked into that. I know I have heard him speak on that specifically. I was surprised the Senator brought out that there are already six programs for veterans now, and this would be a new one added to it. What is the Senator's view of what a responsible Congress should do when we learn we are spending this much money on these programs with their own bureaucrats and so forth? Can we do better?
