“And I will. But what he is saying here is that any Senator can, as a ticket for his vote--as a ticket for his vote to raise the debt limit, as a ticket for his vote to waive the deficit requirements--may say to the majority, ``I want mine. I want my special project. I want my special program. That is my ticket, Mr. Majority. I will give you my vote and help you get that two-thirds, but I want mine.'' As a consequence, we will end up adding to the deficits rather than reining them in. Is it a little hard to understand? Maybe.”
