This place is falling apart, and we are over here trying to figure out how to get more Libyans into the United States to be trained on nuclear sciences.
We need to continue to do that and hold people accountable to go after the waste, fraud and abuse in this important area.
This is one of the most important responsibilities of Congress, is, in fact, going after waste, fraud and abuse.
I don't want to get caught up on semantics, but I am just telling you, you have an incentive fund, it sounds like a bonus, it sounds like a slush fund, it sounds like a lot of very negative things.
