Government can't create jobs, it can only re-purpose money.

Now, if he wants to hold a consortium a la IETF/W3C to create a standard format for records, I'd be all for that. Foster an open source community to create software for those formats, based on the investments of interested parties, more power to him.

These records should not be kept in a central location, rather they should be used as a means to exchange information between providers more easily.
