I appreciate the gentleman form Pennsylvania and your passion on that also. This is the time, like you brought up and we have talked about, $17.5 trillion roughly in debt, if we go back to when we first got here, all being freshman, one of the first things that we had to deal with--it was right before we came in, it was the fiscal cliff, then it was sequester, then it was the furloughing, and then the government shut down. Why? From a lack of money, right? It wasn't an excess of money; yet we have given over $5 billion since 1988 to the Palestinian Authority, which is not a country. It is a loosely-knit organization. We have to go back to our taxpayers and to our constituents back home and say: we need more money, we have got to do this. And they look at us, like they say to you: When are you guys going to start fixing it? This is the time. At this moment, I yield to the gentleman from the State of Iowa (Mr. King), my friend.
