“I want to mention, the gentleman talked about the amount of national debt. The debt service is actually about $2,000 per family. We pay I think it is the second largest expenditure in the budget is interest on the national debt, which runs to about $2,000 a family, which would be half a year's college tuition. It would be a down payment on a new car, or it could be a nice vacation. So the interest on the national debt is already something we are facing. Since the gentleman is from Colorado, and I have a mama and a sister and brother-in-law and nephew out in that great State. I also have to brag about one of my best friends two of my best friends, Ross and Paloma Fox, whose son Richard just got a full 4-year college to the University of Colorado. He is 6'10". He is going to be a Buffalo out there. I know that is not in your district. But he is a great guy. I just want the gentleman to know, since he represents Colorado State, and I want him to know I have known Richard Fox, this 17-year-old boy, all my life. I know his brother David. They are both great kids. I know their families. But I just want the gentleman to know that, when Richard Fox and the Colorado Buffalos go up to Colorado State in Fort Collins, I am going to be cheering for him. I want the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Schaffer) to know that I hope they win, and that Colorado State can go win the national championship because they are not going to be able to beat Richard Fox and team.”
