Well, I tell you what is happening. Because we are talking about oil, and we are talking about home heating oil, and we are talking about staying warm. We are talking about heat. And the heat is coming, because, you know, we are going to hear a lot of hot air, but the American people are putting the feet to fire of those who have not supported a public policy regarding energy that makes sense for all Americans, not just Exxon Mobil that last year made $32 billion, and, by the way, whose CEO who is now retired, is earning a pension, Madam Speaker, of $150,000. I hope you heard that, Madam Speaker, $150,000. Now, you might say that is not much money. Well, it is a lot of money when you get $150,0000 every single day of the year. It is a pension that is evaluated.
