I believe it will pass.
Let me say, I believe first of all that what the Republicans have done, they ran this Government for 12 years.
I want to make it clear that the Senators who are here and others strongly support what is being done.
If we don't do it, this deficit will move up toward $500 billion and $600 million a year.
The purpose of this order is to create a mechanism to monitor total costs of direct spending programs.
Those are the facts.
This plan is fair.
This is crazy.
This is a fair program.
As important as this plan is for reducing the budget and investment deficits, these Executive orders deal also with the trust deficit.
It will get straightened out if it passes, because once the bill passes, reality takes over and the rhetoric shrinks.
