to me, that's a common sense -- just being a country lawyer from upstate new york --york, a comme initiative that i would think we can all agree upon. because if you arm an individual with a diploma, the likelihood of that individual, my gut tells me, and i think every study tells me that higher educational success you receive, the better your chance of being re-employed into the marketplace. so as folks are in this unemployment status, and i empathize with those folks, why can't we come together and agree on reforms that are going to give individuals, men and women, additional tools such as a ged that will make them more marketable. will make them more apt to be re-employed? and so i'm going to follow up on one other point before i get into hopefully a question, senator reed, because i'm going to follow the chairman baucus' recommendation of trying into up a dialogue through questions. there was a discussion when you talked about we should treat this as emergency spending and not pay for i. i have to say i disagree with that. as a member of the freshman class that came in in 2010, i'm very
