What about that? That this never happens. Right. What about, you know, you hear different things about the bureaucracy, which we've all seen. That's been frustrating. But Congress could rein in these bureaucrats easier than anybody. All they have to do is defund. If you don't like what some you don't like, a program you don't like, just defund. You can legislate and you can circumscribe the powers of the bureau, and they don't do it. (36:23–36:30)
