I think it was none. Goose eggs. And that was the Recovery Act that gave 98 percent of Americans a tax cut, the same one that created a situation where we have the lowest, as you said, the lowest tax bills, the lowest tax rate since 1950, the one that created a situation where the triangle that Mr. Tonko referred to a few minutes ago enabled us to go from bleeding more than 700,000 jobs prior to President Obama being sworn into office to gaining almost 300,000 jobs in this last month. So we, on our side of the aisle, created, conceived, passed, and President Obama signed the Recovery Act into law, and our friends on the other side of the aisle all said ``no.'' Is that right?
