Some people will say, oh, that is just economics. But those are economics that affect real people. I have a lot of farmers in my district. They run expensive farm operations. It costs a lot to run a farm these days. Most of them do not have the kind of capital to finance, so they have to take out loans to buy their seed, their fuel, to put in the crops. I will tell you, every farmer in my district understands very well the benefits that will accrue to them if we balance the budget, and they understand full well what the bottom line will be for them if we do not balance the budget.
