Mr. Tonko, thank you very much for your passion on this issue, and thank you for your compassion for the American people. We can make it. We can make it in America. We need good and wise policies to do that. You can't do it by cutting, cutting, and cutting. You have to do it by investing, investing, investing. The American public understands. They really do understand that we're a great Nation. There is no greater nation in the world. We need the kind of policies that will put Americans back to work and keep them healthy. I want to thank those of you that are listening to this hour of discussion on health care and on jobs in America. Mr. Tonko, thank you very much, and, Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of our time. ____________________
