Sorry for interrupting there, but you struck a chord when you said ``regulations.'' We know what the American people want. They want fewer hassles, fewer burdens, fewer mandates from on high. They want more flexibility, more walking around cash, they want more choices, they want more hope for themselves and their children and grandchildren.

Not a week goes by that I don't hear a farmer complaining about some of the regulations in the pipe. We've had recent attempts by our Federal Government to try and regulate milk spills like oil spills, and to regulate the dust that comes across fields in rural areas.
