Excerpt
Excerpt: An educated citizenry and a productive workforce are keys to the continued vitality of our democratic society and the vigor of our community. To this end, the government spends billions on programs aimed at fostering the development and education of our children and protecting this vulnerable population. Billions of dollars are also directed at providing training for our workers, helping adults not in the workforce (including those on welfare, the unemployed, and the disabled) enhance their skills and obtain employment, and protecting workers from employment related and physical hazards. Significant resources are also devoted to providing Social Security and pension benefits to the nation?s retirees. Together, these programs account for over 40 percent of federal spending and touch the lives of virtually every American. With long-term fiscal challenges facing the nation, Education, Workforce, and Income Security will assist the Congress by examining whether these programs are being efficiently and effectively implemented and ensuring that federal dollars are spent wisely.
