It only happened one time when this Congress was put in the hands of her party. And I would just like to say to my friend, who is my friend--and we do work on other things together; I am very happy about that--that on this matter it is tragic--tragic. And I wish you would go to North Dakota or maybe come to California where 120,000 people had to be evacuated from their homes. That we are putting a budget fight on an emergency supplemental--emergency--we do not have a budget.
