I thank you for your passion and your expression of what's going on in Minnesota. I think we're seeing that the same situation is going on in all 50 states. For those of us who lived during recessions before, some recessions were tied to real estate, some were tied to manufacturing, different parts of the country. But you know something? People from every corner of this country are feeling this right now, which is why we have to act now. Do the right thing. We'll adjust as we go along. But every economist has told us that this is the right combination: some tax cuts, some investments, but all towards the future. I want to express my appreciation to the President who has expressed it this way because I think he's right on the mark.
