It is going to be a lot harder on us if we don't. I know they told me in that election that they want this budget balanced, they want us to deal with this debt, and they want it done by cutting spending. The important thing I believe is that we do it fairly. You have to take a little bit from everywhere across the board. Yes, you are right we do gets visits, you know that, every 15 minutes all day long, with somebody saying you got to balance that budget, but leave my program alone. Well, that will not work, and everybody knows that will not work. But we must do this very, very fairly and intelligently and across the board. Again, I point out in the nutritional programs, feeding the children, we didn't cut. We increased it 4.5 percent.
