Yes, but I am trying to answer the point made by the Senator. All we are saying in this section is that we can create savings which we can reinvest to create new opportunities for those who are unemployed. I find it very difficult to understand why anybody would oppose that. I certainly do not think that those who oppose it are acting in the interest of those who are genuinely unemployed and asking us to do something about it. Why should we not use money that can be saved from those who should not get it for the benefit of those who need it for a better life and employment? I have no problem-----
