Isn't it interesting, if you will put the other chart up there--Mr. President, I thank the Senator for yielding for a question--how the old labels don't mean anything anymore--what is conservative and what is liberal. We are now looking at record deficits, and they say this is a conservative budget? It seems to me it is exactly the opposite, that the reckless spending and tax policies that end up with fiscal policy that is running the country into debt are exactly the opposite of conservative fiscal policy. To the contrary, it is reckless liberal policy that is driving our country into economic doldrums. Does the Senator agree?
