Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of my time to close. I know it is painful to listen to an idiot like me for 5 minutes, but let's have some fun here. First, I want to say to everyone who has spoken, I love the passion and I love…

Mr. Speaker, my best guess is I will use about 6 or 7 minutes of it. Mr. Speaker, do you remember the hair on fire comments that people said that mathematically had no basis? They are not actually in the budget documents. Let's understand…
