So I think--I'll be happy to work with them, but I want--I thought it was important, after they won the election on a set of specific promises, that they have a chance to go and say how they thought it should be done. Now, you know what I think is wrong with their budget. I think that it cuts Medicare and other health programs to the elderly way too much. It cuts education too much. It uses those cuts to finance a tax cut that is entirely too large and tilted to upper income individuals who are doing very well in the present economy and who basically just want us to get the deficit down. So, we need to do this, but there's a right way and a wrong way to do it. And at the proper time, I will say what I think the right way is. Mr. King. And the proper time is imminent or not imminent?
