Let us call it a cat or a dog or something. But the point is, it is a start. And so the gentleman from Wisconsin is going to vote against the emergency supplemental. If he is trying to fight for fiscal responsibility, as he has been saying today, then certainly if we are cutting nondefense and nonemergency items and it is something that has not even gone through his Committee on Appropriations that he is the ranking member on, I would think the gentleman would be more than happy to say, ``Stearns is a great amendment, I am with you, shoulder to shoulder we will fight for fiscal responsibility.''
