In the President's budget I notice that he listed social investment as a capital expenditure. That is why I was asking the question about education. I am concerned that the capital budget procedure is just an attempt to be able to move everything outside of the normal budgeting procedure so, in fact, we do not have to balance the budget. That is why I want more definition on what is meant by ``capital budget.''
