today 100 senators that agreed. we could have sent this bill to the president. next week when the preliminary investigation returns, shinseki could have started firing people that weren't doing their jobs. instead, we'll have a hearing in june, according to the chairman just unacceptable. why would anyone object to someone being a ceo like the secretary is of the v.a., having the authority to fiber people who are not doing their jobs at the highest levels and are actually causing big problems for others the argue. was that they want to be fair to executive employees. they don't want some new secretary to come in and start firing people. they want to make sure that they are protected. in essence, we want to give these bureaucrats protections that veterans don't have. and no one else has for matter. again, there is no logical reason other than the fact that, you know, they don't want to do it because it's our idea is the best can i come up with. >> you know what i don't understand? i will take it even further than you. i don't understand why you are limiting this bill to simply the veterans administration. what about the irs?
