They are. And I heard you use the word ``uncertainty.'' I guess I kind of fall back on my health care background, and when it comes to jobs in this country, my diagnosis is we have a psychological problem. We have a total lack of…

Well, I thank my good friend from Missouri for leading this very important Special Order where we are talking about jobs. You know, I don't want to misquote, I believe it was President Reagan--I will give him credit at this point…
