I think we're good. Oklahoma operates as a very functional, well ran state, but we need to not take one thing for granted. The thing is, is that I don't think Elon Musk, who said this, that there could be 20% of our budget going to fraud, waste and abuse. I believe that number could be very accurate. Thank goodness we have a business guy in Washington, D.C. that is President Trump that is taking a hard approach to this and saying we don't have to do things the way we've always done it.
