We have seen history being made. And those things are what one would consider to be a done deal. And then we are on the cusp of the financial regulations, which is another 15 percent of the economy some say. And then add to that another 8 percent, and which I think is a very low estimate of what cap-and-trade or cap-and-tax would actually do to us. So I don't know what's left. Whatever part of the economy they would like to take over. But from my standpoint, every bit of free enterprise that's out there increases the vitality of Americans. They have got a reward for working and producing more effectively. It's not enough to work hard; you have got to work smart, too. And everything that the Federal Government takes over diminishes the vitality of the American worker and lowers the average annual productivity of our American people, which diminishes us as a people and reduces our gross domestic product and takes our standard of living down.
