we have discussed the ged and look, the taa program provides help for a ged, provides help for other training, retraining. while people receive their benefits. while they receive their benefits. it isn't common sense to say to somebody who doesn't have a ged you're going to lose your benefits if you don't go into the program. the program combines the two. if you want to provide unemployment benefits while people go for the ged, that's a continuation of sound policy. and let me just mention senator kyl you talked about available funds. i just want to review what's in the house gop proposal for 2012 in terms of the most important training and retraining programs. there would be a proposed 73% cut in the work force investment act for addout activates. 73% cut over 200 million. for dislocated work activities there would be a 90% cut. and for employment service grants to states, a 50% cut. so let me just say a word about that is someone who over the years has worked with and seen the activities of the employment service in our states. we have been cutting the employment service programs i

, start working for a ged, that's something else. but i don't see that in the proposal. i just see this requirement, go get a ged even though it might be completely impractical to get one. and i think the other point i would make, too, you go back really to what is causing this lack of employment. particularly for people who do not have, you know, college, post college, whatever, and it's this lack of demand. that was the conclusion of the most recent report by the san francisco fed. that people aren't hiring because there's not demand. i would suspect for people without high school or post high school training, you know, what's going to get them back in the work force when they want to work i'm convinced is not that it's the two or three years it will take them to get the ged because again, you know, that's not something that you can -- some people turn around in two weeks and get your ged. it could take several years. the companies are hiring again because people want to buy their products. >> i wholeheartedly agree with the sentim

and start working for the ged is something else, but don't see that in the proposal. i just see this requirement to go get a ged even though it might be completely impractical to get one, and another point that i would make, too, as you go back really to what is causing this lack of employment, particularly for people who do not have, you know, college, post college, whatever. and it is this lack of demand. that is the conclusion of the most recent report by the san francisco fed. you know, that people are not hiring because it is not demand. i would suspect for people who without high school or post high school training, you know, what is going to get them back into the workforce, and they want to work i'm convinced is not that it is the two or three years to take them to get the ged, because, again, that is not something that you can, and some people turn around in two weeks to turn around to get the ged, because it could take several years, but what is it going to take to get them back the job is the fact that companies are hiring again, because people want to buy

that's the other component of the ged. referenced as giving states flexibility. >> but others and then i'll say a few words. >> all right. i'm sorry? >> i was going to make the point to clarify on senator kyl's, if you go to page 29 of the bill, section 2122 it spells out pretty clearly for purposes of the paragraph an individual shall be considered to have met the minimum requiren'ts unless they have earned the ged credential include big meeting recognized alternative standards for individuals with disabilities or three is enrolled in making satisfactory progress in classes leading to satisfaction of clause one or two and then "c" the requirements of sub paragraph "b" may be waived for an individual to the extent that charged with the state law deems such requirements to be unduly burdensome. we were trying to strike a balance here to bring the states in and have them evaluate the programs as it relates to their individuals and help people move forward and get the ged which is the first step or high school diploma which i

the focus is really to get younger people into getting geds. it will do them the most good over the entire bank of their career. that is the purpose of the ged. >> i will just say a few words. >> i was just one to make the point to clarify on a senator kyl. ego to page 29 of the bill, section 21 and 22, it spells out clearly for purposes of this paragraph an individual will have been considered to met the minimum unless such individual has earned a high-school diploma, ged, or state recognized equivalent including alternative standards for individuals with disabilities or enrolled in making satisfactory progress in classes leading to satisfaction of clause1 or 2. the requirement of separate paragraph b deems such requirement to be unduly burdensome. we are trying to strike a balance here to bring the state s in and evaluate their programs as it relates to their individual spirit helping the people look forward -- there individuals. helping the people look forward is the first step. if you look at the packet, non elderly households receiving ben

however, just one in 10 latinos to drop out and earn a ged. we know the drop out crisis with -- risks america's competitiveness in our economic future. we must give our youth a second chance to earn at work force skills. if we do not, we lose valuable contributors and risk falling further behind other countries. at the department of labor whenever most exciting programs is called youth build. it gives young people that second shot. and through youth build students are in their high school diploma or ged. they gained real work experience by building affordable housing in their local communities. they get an industry-recognize credentialed and construction to help them get jobs when they graduate. and this is so critical, because in the next eight years there will be 48 million job openings corridor recent study. nearly two and three will require some sort of post secondary indication. unfortunately, we are under prepared to beat this need. by 2018 we need an additional 3 million americans to get a degree beyond their ged. it is crucial we equip

. -- do you need to get a ged as you're receiving unemployment benefits, at least enroll in that process? and the drug screening as well as benefits. we did spend time on those issues yesterday. i think if it's possible, what i would like to ask the senate, we have the staff work on these issues. if we could work on a proposal from the senate on the bigger issues that were contained in the house bill, we know where people are on these issues, sometime tomorrow we could begin to review not only these technical items but these bigger issues that were there, i would say these would move us significantly forward. we know the house bill costs about $26 billion going-forward. and i know that just glancing at some of these items in here, there would be additional spending included in those. and as we look at the number of weeks, if we looked at the president's proposal of 79 weeks, that's roughly another 10 billion additional dollars, i know there are those who would like to go more than that, i heard the comments yesterday. but if we could know a senate position beginning on these tier one iss
