I can only imagine what the comedians that make their living that way would do and will do with this situation. But it is very serious business. We are doing something to our children and grandchildren that they cannot even protect themselves from. We would not consider doing something like this as far as their nutrition or their health care or their well-being would be concerned, but yet we are willing to put this monumental massive debt and this tax that they cannot repeal on them by borrowing money, money, and more money every day in this country and not being responsible. The Blue Dogs have proposed that if we cut taxes, fine, let us cut taxes, and at the same time let us cut spending to go with it. Let us be honest with the American people. Let us tell the truth.
