Thank you so very much. You can say I am from Georgia at least once. Let me just say this: It is the same media market that you are in with Mr. Ryan. I was listening. Like, for instance, here is an actual pump of ExxonMobil. Here is E-85 that is here, and these are the other fuels that are there, need it be unleaded, regular, what have you. You see here "cannot use your Mobil credit card" to buy this ethanol which is something that is produced here in the United States. This is a part of innovation. This is a part of trying to roll back the clock on global warming. All of these things that have taken place, they have been allowed to do it. What we are doing tomorrow is taking away some of those super giveaways that they didn't even ask for and the Republican Congress was so happy to give to them. And I don't blame the oil companies. Don't get me wrong. They can only do what we allow them to do. And while they are making record profits and still have the taxpayer dollars to do what they wish to do, we are going to turn that around and we are going to invest. That is just the beginning. That is what I am excited about.
