In this debate about the working family there are two figures that are constantly quoted. One is 40 percent. I typically use 50. I wonder if the Senator would agree, when you add on the regulatory costs and that family's share of higher interest rates because of the national debt, you end up with another $9,000 coming out of the checking account of the average family. It really takes it to over 50 percent, dealing with the cost of government.
