I thank the gentleman for yielding. There's been a lot of talk about kick the can down the road and kick the can down the road. I want to know what road that is? The road I know, the road that gave me the American Dream, was the road to an education that's being undercut by this budget. It's a road to medical security that my grandparents worked hard and struggled for to give me. So that's the road we're talking about. The other question I have is, What can are we talking about? The budget offered by the Republicans kicks the can down the road all right, but that can is the middle class American.
