Mr. President, so I think my colleague doesn't understand that when you borrow money, you eventually have to pay it back. The government doesn't produce income. It takes money from people. That means that when that bill--the so-called infrastructure bill--runs deficits, somebody's taxes are going up. Whether they go up today or tomorrow, they are going to go up. And, by the way, it is part of why the Democrats had to raise the debt ceiling by $2.5 trillion, and that is $2.5 trillion that Americans families are going to have to pay for. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Montana.
