we have amazingly, i discovered when i came in, 207 different computer systems for an agency of 1700 people. there is not a business in america that would put up with that. our systems are incompatable. they can't talk to each other. and they're highly inefficient. and worst of all, they're insecure. i would be happy to go into more detail about that in non-public setting but there are serious challenges that we have. $13 million as you point out, mr. chairman, is a lot of money. but, the reality here is, if we don't spend that now, we'll spend that in the next two years in the bailing wire and glue that we have to do to hold the existing systems together. the second issue, universal service fund reform is about a $10.8 million expenditure. we oversee an $8.4 billion universal fund, universal service fund program that is going through significant changes that brings sizable challenges with it. the lifeline program has been abuseed. we'll save $160 million this year through eliminating unqualified recipients. companies, not just consumers, have been involved in this. we need to beef up enforcement. the, if you talk to the enfo

america's new empty suit. earlier rnc chair reince priebus attacked majority leader harry reid for criticizing the koch brothers. >> he's clearly using staff, taxpayer money, resources, website, computer equipment to launch partisan campaign attacks on the taxpayers' money. and that's a violation. harry reid is so dirty and so unethical that some of these things have to happen. you have to put a marker down and say wait a second you're not going to use a taxpayer website and a taxpayer twitter account to attack republicans. where it stands now is in the senate ethics committee. >> so do you think republicans concerned about people or twitter accounts? let's talk twitter for just a moment. this is what john boehner puts out. he puts something out about obamacare, just about every day. fact, because of obamacare, two out of three small business workers will pay higher premiums. this is what boehner spends his time doing. of course, the empty suit is working over harry reid. reid is telling the truth, is this a lie. we reached out to senator reid's office for comment, they provided us with this statement today. republicans are lashing out at senator reid because he's been speaking out ab
