leslie joins us from washburn, maine. caller: served in vietnam in 1967. i was 20 years old. came back, and i only weighed 140 pounds. i did 23 years. when i was 50, i could do it 70 pushups. when i was in parachute school at age 38, all the girls except for one or not any good at it. it is not physically feasible for them to do it. host: thank you for the call. this is inside the washington post -- next is a caller from jamaica, new york. lucille, good morning. caller: i would like to say that throughout history they said that women cannot be doctors, they cannot do this, or that. the russians used women to fight during world war ii, and they seemed to be very effective against the nazis. i'm sure that the russians are happy that they had these women. they used to say the same thing about black soldiers, that they would not be able to fit in well with the army as it once was. as modern as we are, people have such old-fashioned ideas that women should have an apron on, in the house. people not want to change from that mode. time is moving on. all the nations are using women.

it funds a new crime lab and training facility for our state's law enforcement on the campus of washburn university. it fully funds our state's infrastructure investments through t-works. additionally and important, both my 2014 and 2015 budgets provide a 7.5% ending balance, without cutting core services. [applause] this stands in stark contrast t the $876 that was left in july 2010. make no mistake, i believe in fiscal discipline an and in healthy, adequate fiscal balances. trends matter, and for years kansas has consistently progressed to larger government, higher taxes, and unfortunately though perhaps not surprisingly, more of our citizens leaving. we are changing these trends. my administration has worked to restructure and reform state government to be more efficient and more effective. but there is a lot more we can do. one of the clearest examples of duplication in state government is the fact that we have two highway departments, the kansas department of transportation and the kansas turnpike authority. it is time that we realize the efficiencies to be gained by replacing these
