Duty as a congress, and certainly our duty as a part of this committee to make sure hat that check we figuratively wrote to those veterans never comes back marked insufficient funds. And to make sure that that check, the benefits of that check dont come back redeemed in a delayed fashion. So we have done what is necessary to make sure that they get their benefits, that he they get them in a timely manner, that the claims backlog is eliminated, and that we facilitate whatever it takes to make sure that they are rewarded for their service to our country because the price of freedom, it is not free. Somebody had to pay that price. And the people who paid the price are the men and women who served our nation in uniform and are our veterans and families who also sacrificed as the Service Members wept to war.

On the music streaming site you have beats music that has garnered a lot of attention. I do not know how successful it has been on the business side because they have not released numbers. Right, so is it worth 3 billion . Complex many analysts would agree that it is not worth any analysts would agree that it is not worth that much. What is concerning is that youve never had apple acquire a brand, ever do big deals. Billion dollar deal for what essentially boils. Own to a brand that is cool it is not a new technology. It will not move the needle on the technology front. Apple has a lot of money. Overseas but the money is not accessible. Debt tos had to issue give shareholders value back.
